    They were, but there’s the question of whether it’s a random peasant or a member of the royal disobeying a direct order. You forget, to Trump it’s personal.

    The general can still fight on the correct side when it comes to civil war. He’d be a valuable asset. But now he can no longer be coerced into giving orders to murder innocent people and it’s unlikely his family is deported or murdered as retaliation for him sabotaging or refusing an order.

    If enough experienced people resign, the military will be left incompetent.

      How. He’s going to get out his little Glock and shoot at policemen?

      ut now he can no longer be coerced into giving orders to murder innocent people and it’s unlikely his family is deported or murdered as retaliation for him sabotaging or refusing an order.

      Would you stop with the nonsense? Trump doesn’t have any powers to deport Americans especially family members of the military.

        Trump is deporting Americans right now though? They’re talking want revoking citizenships too.

      Incompetence never stopped a violent gang from implementing violence. And they’d be just as bereft of competence if the generals were standing up for what was right rather than politely stepping out of the way.
