Our Highest-Level Military Are Not Going to Watch the United States Descend into a Dictatorship Led By the Insane

After being ordered to commit war crimes, retiring is an option, and I don’t think anyone could say that what this commander did was absolutely wrong.  Of course, another option would have been to call bullshit, and to stand up for rule of law and the United States Constitution.

FWIW, I don’t expect the entirety of our top-ranking generals and admirals to simply disappear from active duty and retire in Tahiti when Trump decides to attack Venezuela, or Canada, or Greenland, or to reorganize the EU.
