Hyten was responding to a question about testimony by former STRATCOM commander retired Gen. Robert Kehler before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee earlier this week. Kehler said that nuclear operators would refuse to implement an unlawful order. Hyten agreed, and argued that the process in place to launch a nuclear strike would prevent such a situation from arising in the first place.

The “Trump might issue an illegal order” smear has been a long standing attack against POTUS. The General knew that and yet still played ball with the Trump haters at the security conference. Unforgivable, in my book.
