"Does a “tweet” constitute a “direct order”?"

You can bet your sweet arse that there was an officially signed paper order that followed that accompanied that tweet.

Yes,one would *assume* that that was the case but I noticed nothing in this piece indicating that one was issued.And although I only achieved that lofty rank of SP5 during my stellar Army career it's hard for me to picture an O-6 disobeying a clear and unambiguous order from *anyone* above him in the chain of command.
