Today, it came out that Trump's Pentagon spokeswoman is under investigation. She has been tasking her staff with running personal errands for her like picking up her dry cleaning.
And, she has been doing this with military personnel. She apparently doesn't realize what an unlawful order is, and she is abusing her position something fierce. If a person is appointed in a position of authority over military personnel, they can have them do things that are part of their normal duties, but are NEVER authorized to have them do crap like mow the lawn and run errands. Those are what is called unlawful orders.
I wonder how Mad Dog Mattis (the one who appointed her), is gonna handle this? Personally? I think she should be fired, because she apparently doesn't know what she can and can't do when it comes to military personnel.
Someone on her staff should school her about the UCMJ and what she can and can't do with military.

Investigators are eyeballing one of the Defense Department’s top civilian advisers for allegedly retaliating against staffers who complained after she ordered them to run personal errands for her on the taxpayers’ dime.
The department’s Inspector General is investigating Dana White, a Trump administration political appointee who works as the Pentagon’s chief spokeswoman, CNN reported.
White had staffers pick up her drycleaning, hit the pharmacy for snacks and pantyhose and work on her personal mortgage paperwork among other tasks, the network reported, citing a quartet of sources.
Her staffers also charged that she had them transferred against their will after they lodged complaints about the way she treated them.
