"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.'"

"The military is restraining the civilian leadership".

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

Capitalism is based on the ridiculous notion that you can enjoy limitless growth in a closed, finite system.

In biology, such behavior of cells is called "cancer".

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.
