Top General Says He Would Reject An 'Illegal' Nuclear Strike Order From Trump

The top nuclear commander in the U.S. said Saturday that he would reject an “illegal” nuclear attack order from President Donald Trump, and would instead steer the commander in chief to other “options.”

“If you execute an unlawful order, you will go to jail,” Air Force Gen. John Hyten told an audience at the Halifax International Security Forum in Nova Scotia. “You could go to jail for the rest of your life.”

Hyten, the commander of the U.S. Strategic Command who oversees America’s nuclear arsenal, spoke at a forum titled “Nukes: The Fire and the Fury,” as recorded in a video on the event’s Facebook page. He didn’t define what exactly would constitute an illegal launch order. But Hyten said he has been trained for the past 36 years in the law of armed conflict, and mentioned the consideration of such elements as proportional response and unnecessary suffering that would be caused by such a conflagration.

In the event Trump suggests an illegal strike, Hyten described a scenario in which he would present Trump with legal choices.

That’s unacceptable; a significant portion of us voted for Trump in order to bring about the apocalypse
Skipping leg day is the equivalent of a woman having an abortion. You're ashamed of it, and it was probably unnecessary.

There's nothing illegal about an executive order. Leftists didn't have this problem when Obama was president.

There was no belief under a stable President like President Obama for the question to have come up. However President Obama was under the same rules as was the military under his eight years in office as the President is today.

The Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) 809[890].ART.90 (20), makes it clear that military personnel need to obey the "lawful command of his superior officer," 891.ART.91 (2), the "lawful order of a warrant officer", 892.ART.92 (1) the "lawful general order", 892.ART.92 (2) "lawful order".

"Lawful" being the key word here.

This is hypothetical. Do not take it as a given. “I think some people think we’re stupid,” he said. “We’re not stupid people. We think about these things a lot. When you have this responsibility, how do you not think about it? What people forget is that this is a military mission and military function.”

A system of checks and balances exists to prevent a U.S. president from illegally ordering a nuclear strike, but no one can stop the commander in chief from using nuclear weapons, according to senior military experts and a former vice president.

A nuclear attack on PRNK may be President Trump's ticket to immortality

More of those kangaroo courts you love?

So now it is treasonous to follow The Uniform Code of Military Justice?

You attacked me for calling on states to ignore illegal orders from federal judges. Now you shift and attack me for holding people accountable who don't follow legal orders.

Truly you have a dizzying intellect, c2c.
