    I’d truly love to see him try to do this or Canada simply because I don’t know anyone in the military that would follow those orders and I’m around a bunch of higher ranking ones. Pretty sure this would push him to impeachment. One can hope.

      Are those the same guys that were going to stop him from deploying the national guard within the US, or the guys that wouldn’t ever pirate vessels, or fire missiles at fisherman and watch them drown?

      But yeah, I’m sure we will see some integrity from US military leadership any day now.

        It’s never happened yet, but any day now the US military is going to become ethical and do the right thing instead of following orders.

          Tbh I’ll believe it when I see it.

          I genuine hope I’m being overly pessimistic. But in a situation like this, nobody should plan for some deus ex machine bullshit to swoop in and make everything all better. We’re very far down a road that we cannot go back up. This will take a generation to revert and restore, at least. Likely several.

      There is no reason to believe that the senate would actually vote to impeach. Almost 60% of current or former soldiers voted for Trump. Veteran is a synonym for traitor.
