As to the military... I lost faith in their geopolitical acumen during Vietnam. There's a reason it's called the Defense Department rather than the Offense Department,

Sweet Jesus, the military fucks up bigly like everyone else.
No reason to turn it over to an inexperienced, narcissistic clown like we did in 2016.

What an incredible fool you are. An incredible fool. You are a walking argument for dictatorships.

If the order is lawful and it clearly is here, they are obligated to obey it.

came directly in conversation with referenced fam member.
Also: no “cabinet-level meeting” yesterday, and no way some flunky at State - or a retired admiral - would know any of this.

though they doubt that talk about refusal is anything but that.
And neither of us know what meetings occurred at Defense in the last 2 days.
Is it possible that this is the fictional product of a flunky ? Maybe, but not likely.

The spectacle of folks like you joining in with the right-wing ghouls who've never met a war they didn't like is something to behold. Only to be topped by posts like the ones in this thread, seemingly excited at the prospect of military defiance of a democratically-elected president. Unreal. Yeah, fascism, alright. You're in bed with the same fools who wanted us to stay in Korea, to give Vietnam another 20 years, to occupy Iraq ad infinitum.
As you've probably been smart enough to pick up at some point but have now deliberately forgotten because your guy/gal isn't prez, if you listen to these generals and right-wing ghouls and all the others who have a vested interest in us being perpetually involved in everything, you can never leave these places. After all, that will create instability. And "instability" is bad, you see. You ought to be embarrassed at cheering on what would essentially be a military coup, but you probably won't, given your tribalism. But you ought to be.

He had every right as a civilian to resign if he didn’t want to carry out the order. The military doesn’t have that option.
