Pentagon officials discussing how to respond if Trump issues controversial orders

[Mac-7]

The first thing Trump should do is court martial Milley. Then he can fire any flag officer involved in woke nonsense for a lack of confidence in their leadership. After that, he can fire any flag officer unwilling to follow lawful orders to secure the nation's borders.

Trump could retire a huge percentage of the generals and admirals in the Pentagon and it would not hurt combat readiness at all

 

[Vrenn]

What unlawful order was given?

The order to use the 82nd to back up the local police within the confines of the United States Posse Comitatus Act

 

[struth]

He used the national guard, that’s perfectly legal

 

[Mac-7]

You mean this oath?

“against all enemies foreign and domestic” sounds as if uniformed military can be deployed within the United States to detain American citizens

Which we know is not authorized

So its a very twisted path of illogic that obama flunkeys in the Pentagon must take to obstruct and disobey their next commander in chief

Close, but not completely accurate. But, there is always the Department of Homeland Defense, whose Secretary position is a political appointee, owing his position to the appointing authority. Somehow, I doubt it will be Mayorkas.

Trump has suggested he would be open to using active-duty forces for domestic law enforcement and mass deportations and has indicated he wants to stack the federal government with loyalists and “clean out corrupt actors” in the US national security establishment.

why is there any problem with this?
~S~

Because military personnel can't be used for domestic law enforcement.

This statement proves that you get too much of your politics from bad television and movies. You would never say such a thing if you actually knew what a court martial was.

"Court martial" is not a verb, it's a noun. It's not something that you do to someone. A court martial is a.....court! It's a military court. Plain and simple. Hence the "court" and the "martial". Wild, I know....

So thank you for playing. In the future please look up the meaning of SAT words before you attempt to use them in a sentence.

Fuck me running, you're an idiot.

If you think Mac Aurthur was one of America's finest generals, you are a moron. Mac surrounded himself with yes men and believed his own propaganda. He attacked the WWI vets demonstrating for benefits, he screwed up the defense of the Philippines by the numbers, he screwed up the defense of Korea, he refused to believe the intelligence from his own G-2 that the Chinese were about to attack at Chosin, he openly disrespected the POTUS in both WWII and Korea. He consistently underestimated his enemies and lied to his allies. The only reason he had any victories in WWII and Korea was a massive technological and numerical superiority over his opponents.

MacArthur should have been shot for incompetence in 1942.

As I said its a very twisted path of illogic that obama flunkeys in the Pentagon must take to obstruct and disobey their next commander in chief

But if they are allowed to stay in the service they will certainly try

So trump should send them packing

 

[Jarlaxle]

Rear Echelon Mother Fucker. In other words a paper pusher.

No member of the JCS has a valor award. Not one has seen combat.

Neither did Eisenhower.

 

[sparky]

Because military personnel can't be used for domestic law enforcement.

In a national emergency Jar? ~S~

 

[Zafira Cherry]

Trump is a "stable genius" and I understand why Pentagon officials are discussing how to respond if Trump issues controversial orders

 

[Jarlaxle]

In a national emergency Jar? ~S~

Been true since 1878, the posse comitatus act.

 

[SassyIrishLass]

Deep down after the left got totally shellacked they think maybe the military can fix their woes.

It's not going to happen

 

[sparky]

It's not going to happen

then what IS going to happen Sassy one?

~S~

 

[dblack]

Trump will be CiC, they'll follow orders or be sacked

They have an obligation to refuse if the orders are unlawful or insane.

 

[SassyIrishLass]

They have an obligation to refuse of the orders are unlawful or insane.

I guess so. It's not going to happen.

You know it, accept your beat down and regroup

 

[dblack]

I guess so. It's not going to happen.

You know it, accept your beat down and regroup

I'm not a Democrat. But I do trust that our military will tell Trump to get fucked if he goes off the rails.

 

[SassyIrishLass]

Hope springs eternal I suppose.

Yawn

 

[dblack]

Hope springs eternal I suppose.

I've known a lot of military people. That don't have patience with civilian douchebags telling them what to do. And they don't like Trump. Go figure.

If this story of a cabal of Pentagon officials meeting to undermine the incoming constitutional commander-in-chief of the U.S. military had been a rumor circulating on X or I’d received in an email from some random source, I would have discounted it. But that’s not the case; it comes from CNN. This suggests that something is deeply wrong in the Pentagon—the same Pentagon that “forgot” to send absentee ballots to U.S. troops serving overseas, a gross violation of their civil rights, and one that ought to result in courts-martial all the way up to Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin.
According to CNN, Pentagon officials are trying to figure out how to block any orders Donald Trump might issue to protect the Southern border or remove from U.S. soil the millions of unvetted illegal aliens currently occupying the U.S.:
~Snip~
First, it’s clearly within the federal government’s purview to protect the American border from foreign invasions, whether terrorists, cartels, or the economic refugees amongst whom they hide. That means the president has the authority to order troops to the border. If people in the Pentagon conspire to refuse that order, in the best case, it’s a seditious conspiracy to undermine the president’s constitutional authority. In the worst case, it’s treason. And in any case, if they’re military, that would begin with a court martial.
Second, the president clearly has the constitutional authority to protect Americans on American soil from invaders who have already breached the border. The punishment for obstructive Pentagon officials would range from courts-martial to trials for seditious conspiracy or treason.
Third, the president has the authority under the Enforcement Acts to send troops to hot spots on American soil if there is unrest that is depriving citizens of their civil rights. In addition, even the Posse Comitatus Act, which limits the federal government’s power to use the military on American soil to enforce domestic policies, has several compelling exceptions.

• 1957: Dwight D. Eisenhower sent the Army’s 101st Airborne Division to desegregate Little Rock’s schools.
• 1962: JFK federalized Alabama’s National Guard to force Gov. George Wallace to admit two African-American students to the University of Alabama.
• 1965: LBJ used Alabama’s federalized National Guard to quell the Bloody Sunday protests in Montgomery, Alabama.
• 1967: LBJ called in the Army and National Guard to quell the Detroit riots.
• 1968: After MLK, Jr. was assassinated, Chicago’s Mayor Richard Daley approved calling in the Army when riots broke out. In D.C., 13,600 troops occupied the city to quell riots. National Guard troops were also deployed across Baltimore.

For a president to quell civil unrest is normal. And for a president to use the military as needed to oust invaders from American soil is common sense. If anyone in the Pentagon blocks the president from doing so...back to those courts-martial, and sedition and treason trials.
The bottom line is that what is allegedly happening within the Pentagon—something that was obviously an authorized leak to a friendly outlet; i.e., CNN—represents the complete breakdown of our non-partisan constitutional military, one that the Founders established to be controlled not by a cabal of officers but by a president whom the American people elect.

Cimmentary:

tRump would have to have a reason that the Military will understand. Just wanting to get even doesn't get the job done.




Again, just because the Orange Cheeto had his feeling hurt isn't reason for a court martial. tRump should be aware if he tramples on the Fed Military enough he won't like the outcome.

~~~~~~
This is not about retribution. It's about the Common Law, U.S. law and Military Law.
What Milley did violated the precepts of the Codes of USMJ,
Just as Obama violated U.S. Law and USMJ Laws when he let Bergdahl off the hook and forced the military Tribunal to do the same.

Yeah, Trump claims to want to unify the country, and you want him to go out of his way to antagonise everyone.
