Soldiers are trained to follow only legal and legitimate orders.
This fact is well known by highly educated us Soldiers
No one will follow any useless order from Trump at this point

Nancy Pelosi, third in order of precedence in US political system and Speaker of the House, has already written to Joint Chiefs of Staff (service chiefs of the four branches of US Armed Forces) about Trump being unhinged, to beware of any orders to start a war including accessing the nuclear weapon secret code.

Things are that serious right now.

Not in this case.

The American service men swore allegiance to defend the US constitution not the President. Additionally, they are obligated to obey only legal orders from those with authority to issue such orders. It will not suffice in a law court that they were obeying an order when the commited war crimes.

Additionally, the US president does not issue orders directly to field commanders. The orders go through the SecDef to theatre commanders or the Joint Chiefs. I dont see any of the relaying an illegal order.

Lastly, there is a 2 man rule for launching their nukes. The SecDef has to concur to a missile launch and that wont happen unless there is a clear and obvious threat against the US(like Russian or Chinese nukes heading towards US)

Additionally, the military still has the duty to disobey a launch order if they belief the president and his secdef are mentally unfit.
Exactly,help me educate that dude!

Unlike how it is portrayed in films, the nuclear briefcase doesnt launch the nukes. It only contains codes to be transmitted to validate the authenticity of launch orders and arm the missiles and strike options under SIOP.

I think they will just wait out the mad man for the remaining days. No major military mission will be executed on his say so except where it is clearly in the national interest of the US.

I sincerely admire your patience and courage to lecture sophisticated idiots.

It's only Nigerian soldiers that are Zombies. Do you think in a 1000 years, the U. S Army will shoot at unarmed protestors like in Lekki? Go and learn about America and the U. S Army before you comment. Their sworn allegiance is to the constitution and not any president. This is how they are better than us. In America they at least try to strictly follow the law. Any General following such an order can be tried in a court and sentenced to life imprisonment if convicted. So tell me how dumb a military person would be to follow such an order.

Well, luckily, Trump is a made man. All these changes nothing. Trump should just let everything slide cos the way this democrats are so desperate, they can like buhari, keep blaming theirs woes and incompetencies for the next 4yrs on Trump.

He should let them use him for any more excuse. He should also reflect inwards on things he could do better and that is still possible outside government

Made man? 6 bankruptcies, 400- 600million US$ debt? All of his companies have been losing money year to year. The only way he has managed to stay afloat is by ripping off the system, overvaluing his properties to get loans, undervaluing them to get tax concessions.

Something he learned from his horrible, thieving, racist father.

"Take one especially egregious example from the Times exposé. In 1987, Fred Trump bought a stake in a 55-story condominium building on Manhattan’s Upper East Side for $15.5 million. Four years later, Fred Trump sold that interest to his son for $10,000. By selling his stake to his son for much less than it was apparently worth, Fred effectively gave a gift to Donald without paying any gift tax on the transfer. The top gift tax rate at the time was 55% (it’s 40% today), so Fred Trump likely saved several millions of dollars in taxes through this move."

All these are political, just to silent the man. Trump to me is one of the best President America ever had, in terms of performance. You can not say because he talk to much and use it against him. That is his nature. He fulfill all the promise he made to American people. And if you look at his ageument about the election, he has some very valuable points, but because his party did not support him fully he would have won. In future Americans will understand how this man fight for them. He was trying to make sure Americans maintain full control of their country. But Democrats are using immigration lies as a way to get ride of him and by the end Americans will surfer

You better don't believe all that you read. In the last 4yrs, since last campaigns and election, all media from CNN to Newyork times have all been trying to destroy Trump. Well, at least, I hope they can for once focus on other things and report something rather than be scheming and reporting like India soaps, those guys can spend their entire lives scheming and planning in the stories

she must be cleaned up and restored back to its former state.
