It's funny you call it iconic, because the symbolism works. How many fake news scaffolds have been made for you in jest?

You are not correct in stating that legality is determined at court martial. Legality would generally be know when the directive was given. These people aren't uneducated robots. What has been suggested here, and it has been discussed in this forum before using a crazy hypothetical of directing an air strike against the US population, is using US military forces against the US population, and that is not currently legal, and any officer would know that. Kent State was brought up as an example, but it isn't valid. National Guard forces are controlled by their state governors, and in certain cases can assist state police. They can only use force if threatened, which was the argument in subsequent legal action. Anyway, using US military forces against US citizens is a violation, and not a legal order. I have no sympathy nor concern about a US citizen who has left the country, is on foreign soil and joined a terrorist organization threatening the US, and neither did Obama. For the third time, I am talking about replacing officers of a rank necessary to issue such "orders." Evidence of how that is not simply a matter for the president was demonstrably evident this past year when Sen Tuberville held up such appointments for months in an extremely publicized action. At a certain level, generally three start, any combatant appointment has to be approved by Congress. Ok I get you, but the executive has too much power. Not only can he nominate any general but dismissing them is easy too. I showed you twice he has that power if he chooses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I showed you twice he has that power if he chooses You didn't show me anything. I am very familiar with the process. The President is presented a list of potential candidates for these positions. He usually is unfamiliar with the various candidates and usually, he chooses the candidate from among those that the services recommend. To go rogue as the president would be a very stupid thing to do. Funny coincidence, but Biden did not chooses the recommended 3 star to serve as Chief of Naval Operations. The recommendation from the Navy, and agreed to by SecDef Austin was ADM Paparo, head of the Pacific Fleet. Instead, Biden chose ADM Lisa Franchetti, no doubt becasue she is a woman. Qualified. but not the best candidate, as has been Biden's history of appointments. Still, very unusual, and not a thing that makes you a popular president to the military.

Never interrupt your enemy while they're in the process of making a mistake. He should sit back and let them fight it out among themselves and just keep his mouth shut. But he won't! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K D Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 How can Biden possibly win when half of his party has already said publicly that he's too old to do the job? If you vote for him then you clearly hate this country and should be deported by Dictator Trump 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"count all the great things he has done over the last three and half years" This same loser claimed kamala is a great vp and would make a great first woman of color president.
