View submission: What Trump Doesn’t Understand About the Military - Trump doesn’t seem to understand the arrangement that makes the U.S. both democratic and powerful.

This isn’t a “things will work out” hope. We were trained to not follow unlawful orders during basic training, and cleaning house at the General Officer level is going to cause enough chaos that they might just not be able to use the army. There’s going to be people refusing this shit at every level causing chaos for months, if not years.

Milley walked with trump after a peaceful protest was cleared out by tear gas. He didn't have to march next to trump, could have just told trump that it was an unlawful order and sit it out. Sure, afterwards he claimed he "didn't agree with it" but that just sounds like "I was just following orders". What I am saying is, I don't trust that the fail safe systems are going to do fuck all against a Supreme Court backed wannabe dictator. Especially one who now controls EVERY branch. Stay safe out there and remember to vote!
