“If Congress won’t take a stand, the leaders of the military need to execute the President’s wishes.”
I would think it would be the same as when I was in the military... We had a standing order not to obey unlawful orders. If there is no congressional approval, it is clearly an unlawful order.
In this instance I agree. So what happens when a future president issues a command in an imminent danger scenario, and a Lefty General faces him down over it?
IMO, that general should be brought up on charges. It’s a tough call here, because it sets up the Left to be able to refuse action too, although we won’t agree with the reasons.
There is no imminent threat here. The U. S. isn’t under attack or the threat of one. That’s why I totally disagree with action. And if a General were to disagree, I would rather see them resign than set a precedent where some active duty general could refuse the CIC on political grounds.
Bingo.
