Top General Says He Would Reject An ‘Illegal’ Nuclear Strike Order From Trump
“We’re not stupid people,” nuclear commander Gen. John Hyten said at a forum Saturday.
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.
“I provide advice to the president. He will tell me what to do,” Hyten said. “And if it’s illegal, guess what’s going to happen? I’m going to say, ‘Mr. President, that’s illegal.’ And guess what he’s going to do? He’s going to say, ‘What would be legal?’ And we’ll come up with options... a mix of capabilities to respond to whatever the situation is, and that’s the way it works. It’s not that complicated.”
“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.”

Not sure how much comfort that provides.
For me, not much.

In the 18th Century, when cavalry meant men riding horses, and was one of the most formidable forms of warfare known to man,
when it could take a potential aggressor against the U.S. weeks to cross an ocean to attack,
our 18th Century Founders believed U.S. military should be commanded as an executive, rather than legislative function.
It's a new millennium.
It takes an ICBM less than an hour to arrive at U.S. targets.
Switching from exec. to any sort of group think would be out of pace with fast-evolving military realities.
PROBLEM:
President Trump prides himself with being unpredictable, capricious.
It could potentially be the end of humanity if such volatile personality "has a bad day", does something impulsive with "the button".
General Dwight David Eisenhower was WWII's Supreme Allied Commander. Doesn't seem anyone on our side lost a lot of sleep over that.
President Trump clearly doesn't have the temperament suited to this level of responsibility.
We agree there's a problem.
But was this topic question being asked during the Obama administration? For a president whose demeanor was indeed presidential?
You voted for Goldwater, Nixon, Ford, Reagan, Bush, Dole, Bush, McCain Romney and Dump, brainlessly consistent. You ALL are the same.
It's like I fell from mars and have have to decide whether there is anything at all to redeem you people.
Nope.
