This is the guy who told Congress that the NSA is not and never has intercepted the phone traffic of American citizens.
ZERO punishment.

WASHINGTON – Retired Gen. Michael Hayden, who recently led the National Security Agency and the Central Intelligence Agency, said the U.S. military would likely refuse to follow certain orders from Donald Trump if he is elected to the White House in November and follows through on campaign promises.
"I would be incredibly concerned if a President Trump governed in a way that was consistent with the language that Candidate Trump expressed during the campaign," Gen. Hayden said during an interview will Bill Maher on Friday.
Mr. Trump, the frontrunner in the GOP primary, has vowed to use torture techniques against suspected terrorists if he wins the White House, going beyond waterboarding and doing things he described as a "hell of a lot worse."
He has also suggested he would order U.S. forces to kill the family members of terrorists, a charge that some have alleged would be in violation of the Geneva Convention.

Grrr!
Now that Obola gutted the military and packed it with fairies he may well be right.
Let’s see how the Trumpkins react to this one...
This is the guy who told Congress that the NSA is not and never has intercepted the phone traffic of American citizens.
ZERO punishment.
The Geneva Convention doesn’t apply to terrorists.
Especially the ones left after Obama’s purges over the recent years.
Where was Hayden and his fellow officers when that Kenyan Usurper was showing his treasonous colors, huh?
Then he would be fired and possibly prosecuted.
He serves at the president’s discretion, and in times of war or other highly sensitive situations, he is obliged to follow the commander in chief.
He knows that too.
but you all rolled over like little b!tchs when the boy said put fags in the military and girls into combat units... feh 
Fighting over who got to put on the kneepads first.
Yeah, if you use a magnifying glass it is.
They’re on his side, of course. Hence the talk of acting against the next president if he does not toe the line.
You got it!!! Another AssHat all talk no walk b.s.!!!
What's his FR nick?
The military not following orders is a non-issue. Those refusing to follow orders will be relieved and replaced, just like under 0bama.
And the military doesn’t waterboard anyone, that is left to the 3 letter guys.
Hahahahahaha! Now that’s funny. Career military men are going to defy the most powerful man in the world? No, they are not. This falls along the same lines of this supposed mass walk-out by the FBI, if there’s not a Hillary indictment. No way career government employees are going to put their jobs and families at stake over politics.
But they will sure do what Hillary says?
Agreed.
