They keep asking the ludicrous question, “What if the president orders….?” The assumption is that the military will obediently follow any order issues, which just is not true.

You see, the American military is radically different. After WWII, the German soldiers repeatedly used the excuse, “I was only following orders.” You see, the German soldiers of the day were obligated to follow orders regardless. American soldiers are only obligated to follow lawful orders.

If a senior officer orders a murder and the subordinate follows the order, he is just as guilty as the senior officer. Therefore, most senior officers won’t make unlawful orders. Indeed, it is highly ingrained in his training.

Provided the dems did not mess with this discipline, generals and admirals will not follow unlawful orders. A president would be foolish to try it. Very likely, it would quickly become public.
