"Gen. John Hyten, head of the US Strategic Command, warned that he would resist any illegal orders from President Donald Trump - or any president - to launch nuclear weapons. "He'll tell me what to do, and if it's illegal, guess what's going to happen?" said Hyten on Saturday at the Halifax International Security Forum. "I'm gonna say, 'Mr. President, that's illegal.'"

Can the President "fire" him and order the next in line to launch?

I wasn't too worried about this, but it helps. I had faith that Mattis would do the right thing regardless of the president if presented with the opportunity to prevent such a thing.

I'm no longer as sure about Mattis as I was, but I think that most high up in the chain would prevent the impulsive big insane act.
They can't really stop the little tweets and dumbass moves that keep pushing things closer to the edge. ------------------------- "The truth is incontrovertible. malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is." -Sir Winston Churchill |

check out your buddy fishy, his nerves seem a little frayed ------------------------- "I remember South Africa in the late 70's, sleeping on the beach at J-bay, smoking ganja with the blacks. On weekends we'd go to the pub in East London to drink beer and fight with the Afrikaners. They liked to fight, I liked to fight. It was a good time" |
