What do you think the military would do to an enlisted man

who was

known to have told another country that if this country was

to plan

an attack he would let them know in advance???

(1) Enlisted ranks are not instructed in the matters of illegal
orders as are officers. Ask what a lieutenant/ensign would do.

Boy are you fucking ignorant.

Every soul wearing a uniform from E1 to 010 is informed about so
called "illegal orders".

The defacto rule is follow your last order first whether you
agree with it or not.

The rules don't change just because you have a bar or chickens
on your collar instead of chevrons and rockers.

(2) How would a president legally launch a nuclear attack without
cause or congress?

You're reaching out your ass with this one.

(3) Do you really want officers to obey illegal orders to start
an illegal war?

That is what officers do when ordered by their Commander in
Chief.

See Kennedy, Vietnam
See Clinton, Iraq
See Obama and the other Clinton, Libya

(4) If you say no war was planned, then you're whining officers
prevented an action that was not going to happen. So what exactly
are you whining about?

The officer in question crossed a line and broke with his chain
of command.

He assumed authority he did not have.

He should be relieved and forced into retirement immediately.

In time of war, he would have been handed a pistol and expected
to do the correct thing.

(5) After nearly accidentally incinterating the world multiple
times, countries realised it would be a real good idea if their
militaries talked directly to each so misunderstandings could be
resolved before things got on the way to getting out of hand. Now
you prefer to burn the world because a blowhard's rants are, you
say, misunderstood.

Bull shit. The military is involved in destruction and killing
of enemies, not politics.

If you prefer faggots with slinghots defending your country,
join Antifa.

Oh, and, yes, fuck you. Fuck yourself with Steely Dan.

Yeah well fuck you and Bob Dylan.
