Makes me wonder if it could ever happen here. traditional wisdom says no. They didn't overthrow Carter, Clinton or Obama all of whom were or seemed to be hostile to the military. Carter gutted readiness leading to the "Desert One" debacle. Obama has reduced the size of the military to the pre-WWII level when we were ranked back then about 25th. But there may be politicized Officers in the military now. Reportedly the USAF General who is responsible for launching the ICBMs said he would refuse an "Illegal" fire order from Trump, probably no longer in that role where I doubt it's his job to decide what is or isn't legal.

Seems the Gen. was talking about reasonable level of response. He was saying he'd refuse an order to nuke N.K. if they did something relitvy small.

With the shutdown, you never know. I hope not. I think Trump should start closing departments until Congress gets their poop together.
