Head of US Strategic Command says he would reject order from Trump to nuke if it was "illegal"

[RetiredGySgt]

Hyten sounds like a thinking flag officer.

Maybe he and the other flag officers can arrest Trump for dereliction of duty.

so you support a military coup proves you are a traitor.

In his dreams. From what I've seen of ANTIFA, the left would severely die, were they stupid enough to try something like that.

It would be more of a massacre than a coup.

The military, if the President issues a very serious unlawful order that creates a Clear and Present Danger to the Republic, may arrest him and turn him over to the government for safe keeping, and the VP can assume office of the President under Amendment XXV.

I have no problem with anything he said.

its called a question Jake.....is there some reason you dont want to answer?....

 

[Darkwind]

I would expect that from any Military commander when given an "ILLEGAL" order....Regardless of who the President is.

Sheesh....fucking morons.

that is not what you said and the military has no arrest authority especially against the president. that would be a military coup.

i have never seen a US president treated with such disrespect as Donald J Trump!

Gen. John Hyten, head of U.S. Strategic Command, would resist "illegal" nuke order from Trump - CBS News

That has always been the case with the military. They are not obligated to follow illegal orders.

Of course, such a refusal could end with a bullet to the head and replacement by the next in line. Better be sure.

Only officers. Enlisted personnel have no choice and must follow an order to the letter.

Quite obviously you have never served, because you are taught that you do not have to obey an illegal order. But you damned well better be right that it was an illegal order. Enlisted men do not have to obey an illegal order any more than an officer does.

At present we have a President who is clearly a pathological liar with an extreme narcissistic complex. and gives evidence of other mental pathologies. That puts our military as our only defense against the President starting a nuclear war on the basis of a personal pique.

[Ace Nova]

Everything he said is common sense and not nearly as dramatic as the headlines make it out to be. That being said, I'm not sure I'm a fan of him discussing Executive Office-U.S.Military/nuclear protocol with the media...especially a foreign media source. Smh.

It does not take medical credentials to see the treasonous fat senile old orange clown is a mental case. He has repeatedly told outright lies in his campaign and since he assume the Presidency. And then tried to paint the people that pointed out his lies as liars.

It does take medical credentials to diagnose someone as you seem to have done.

You have nothing to support that contention, except for your own massive case of butthurt.

No uniformed officer should EVER discuss our nuclear policy, favorable or otherwise! It is purely the purview of the president to decide our nuclear strategy, and any other voices on the matter ON FOREIGN SOIL make us look weak. Fire General Hyten now

He is 100% right. A soldier is not required follow a illegal order. That is not betraying any secrets. That is a known fact.

Your question made no sense, so try again, Harry.

"These articles require the obedience of LAWFUL orders. An order which is unlawful not only does not need to be obeyed but obeying such an order can result in criminal prosecution of the one who obeys it. Military courts have long held that military members are accountable for their actions even while following orders -- if the order was illegal."

Here's What to Know About Obeying an Unlawful Military Order

Lawful orders according to the UCMJ. However enlisted personal live in a grey area where it's not their call whether or not an ambiguous law is being broken. Even then, they can be held responsible if they follow an illegal order given to them by an officer. Their oath swears allegiance to the orders of the President of the United States and their commanding officers, while the officer's oath only mentions to support and defend the Constitution of the United States.
