He will be court-martialed and tossed out...I was a military brat-count on it-I hope he escaped Leavenworth. The people who encourage soldiers to do this should be sent to Leavenworth...no matter what we are at war.
Imagine if some soldier had done the same in light of the 2000 election. But I’m just engaging in intellectual consistency, a resource in short supply around here.
I think what happened at the Battle of the Bulge is instructive here. Nazi soldiers educated in America were dressed as American officers and proceeded to give perfidious orders to Allied soldiers (in addition to murdering them when the opportunity arised).
Those who disobeyed their orders did so because they were either warned to do so or they were able to expose the imposters by asking them questions that any loyal American would know. The situation we face is really no different in that we have an imposter as Commander-in-Chief.
I think that you will find plenty of other examples where subordinates determined as a group that their superior was not authorized to issue an order, or that issued an order countermanding the order of a higher-ranking officer, or was not in a sane frame of mind.
There is a reason why it takes TWO KEYS to launch a nuke, and in the scenarios I just described illustrate the reason for that.
