Do you think General Hyten is right to defy Trump if he orders a Nuke attack?


Air Force General John Hyten, the Top US Nuclear Commander has said that if President Trump ordered a nuclear attack on North Korea, he would REFUSE!!

He told an audience at the Halifax International Security Forum in Canada that he's thought a lot about what he would do and if Trump ordered a nuke attack, he considers it illegal.

He said "I think some people think we're stupid. We're not stupid people. We think about these things a lot. When you have this respnsibility, how do you not think about it?. I provide advice to the president, he will tell me what to do. But if he said if the command was "illegal", he would tell me so, and said that together they would come up with other options. We'll come up with options, with a mix of capabilities to respond to whatever the situation is and that's the way it works. It's not that complicated"

He said that they would never execute an unlawful order because of the consequences and said if someone executes an unlawful order, they will go to jail for the rest of their lives.

Do you think General Hyten is right to defy Trump if he orders a Nuke attack? let's see what people will vote

Anyone who has a problem with this, regardless of who the president would happen to be at the time, is trolling

Kind of dumb of him to blabber on about a hypothetical situation when it can get him fired.

So it's completely irrelevant to Trump being president and this wasn't a stoic act of defiance but a statement of reassurance

They seem to say that regardless of who is president, or at least the one Radiolab podcast I've listened to about the subject seems to suggest.

I call bull**** on this, most generals want what their fathers and grandfathers got- a star earned during a world war. Also he is with the chair force which is the redundant and unneeded branch that just commits war crimes with drones nowadays.

They should have gotten rid of the chair force thirty years when it was then under serious considration. All the other branches have their own air wings and they couldn't even protect us on 9/11, so no matter how much they try to pivot to cyber and actual space to seem relevant they are unnecessary.

The commander didn't say he would consider a nuclear order from Trump to be illegal, he said if it was an illegal order, he would tell Trump so and attempt to give him other options. He cannot refuse a lawful order from his superior. If North Korea acted in aggression, it would be lawful no matter how much politicians back home sob.

Besides, we need to use them before they expire.

Yeah I always wondered why we even have an Air Force when every other branch has plenty of their own aircraft.

Honestly I don't know why the Marines exist either. Just make them Navy infantry.
