Its been discussed by USAF pilots, I’ve been there while its been brought up. We’re not stupid, we do carry live air to air missiles even though its a Close Air Support mission, and we’re between the two countries in question.
You don’t have to obey unlawful orders, and you have a personal obligation to use your judgment before using lethal force. I couldn’t and wouldn’t do it, and neither would 90% plus of the guys who I’ve talked about it with in a little 15x30’ trailer in Iraq. That trailer was called the alert shack, and that’s where the defenders would launch from. It’s going to go badly for all involved if Obama gives such an order. It will crack the military officer corps to its soul, and turn officer against officer.
Now that I think about it, maybe he will give that order.
Communists and aspiring dictators fear and hate militaries and will do what they can to destabilize them until they can get firm control. The old Soviet government kept a huge separate contingent of compliance troops attached to their regular units, commissars and political officers etc, because of residual fear of the military that never went away.
this is getting really scairy...Its becomming a very very bad movie.
