I was discharged in 1988. Back then, the commanders would not hesitate to follow orders from the Commander in Chief. Things may be different now..but.....I still think that they would carry out an order from this POS to hit NK.

Don't delude yourself that the military wouldn't follow the orders of the commander-in-chief, no matter how wrong or repulsive said CINC is.

This is different. This is Trump. We have a nutcase in the white house. And we’re talking about nuclear weapons here. I would think sane minds will prevail. At least thats what I tell myself. And I still deep down inside think mattis, kelly and mcmaster are putting on the kiss ass act to stay in their jobs to protect us even if it kills them to do it, Even despite kellys revolting speech. These 3 stand between keeping us from nuclear war or cooperating with a coup and some other crazy replacements willing to do trumps bidding.

we won't find out for some time. And we sure as hell won't find out if the wall is already in place, just in case. And then again, the Russians don't want a nuclear war either. I expect Putin may have other options for Trump.
