The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff vowed that the U.S. military will not obey illegal orders.
On Tuesday, Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) asked Gen. Mark Milley a 10-word question.
Do you intend to obey illegal orders from the president? Gallego asked in a one-line letter.
On Monday, Gallego post a picture of the response he received.

If the president tell you to have helicopters bus a crowd of peaceful protesters, do you consider that illegal?

(11,949 posts)Barr and the other boot lickers were not yelling at trump because they thought sending in troops is a bad idea. Hell, Barr would love it. He is on record saying he doesnt trust a liberal Democracy.
I believe that the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs let Barr know they would refuse the order as it is a violation of the constitution, the law and their oath.
Even Barr knows that if trump publicly ordered the military to oppress Americans and they refuse the gig is up.
If trump gets 4 more years then he can remake the military.
