Pentagon officials are already discussing how they can countermand an order from President Donald Trump if they disagree with it. Scott Jennings absolutely ripped them to pieces. "[They're] already having discussions to countermand the commander-in-chief! [...] I don't like the idea of non-elected government people, at any level, having meetings with each other about how to thwart the duly-elected president of the United States!" "What is Donald Trump supposed to think now? You already got the government plotting against you!"


The Pentagon needs an enema. Trump is going to have to get rid of the rats if he wants to get anything done.

I'm sure the "officials" actually referenced are low level analysts with zero say in anything. Whoever is kvetching and then leaking it to CNN is clearly not professional in any capacity and lacks integrity.

Suggested response: "Sir, yes sir!"; with emphasis.

WTF is a Pentagon official? That's such a ridiculously vague term that it could refer to anything from a 4 Star General to some random transportation Major that shares a tiny office with a couple of Captains.

There's going to have to be a ton of " no confidence in leadership " cuts no doubt!

Sounds like 3 options,
1. Carry out said order
2. Resign in protest
3. Refuse a lawful order and get court martialed.

The Deep State knew this was coming. That the purge of the Marxist rot was going to be top priority and they're terrified and desperate to hold onto their cushy government jobs

Every officer in the military serves at the pleasure of the commander in chief and if they cannot, resign.

True, and there's certainly some dip****s in the ranks like vindman but I suspect most of this is coming from the lifelong GS bureaucrats

I know some folks have an objection to him but I think Mike Pompeo would make an excellent SecDef and would put a quick end to this nonsense.

Doesn't every President have people around them to let them know how to handle something and what is legal or not? The deep state act like every President has a perfect understanding of what is Constitutionally allowed and doesn't need any legal advisors, except for Hitler…. I mean, Trump.

Wrong direction though.
Look at the building from above -- we need to upsize the flat faces until they're round, so we can make it into a Flat Circle as God intended.

It is their duty to not follow an unlawful order, but only if it is an unlawful order. The Nazis tried to use the excuse of following orders to justify exterminating Jews in concentration camps. It is not a justifiable excuse.

These are the same people that structured troop rotations to mislead Trump about overseas troop counts last time around. If you want to talk about an "existential threat to democracy", this would be it.

Just a reminder from the 2022 Festivus Report. It's fair to say there are areas where cuts can be made without losing anything of value.

Its stupid that any "official" is discussing this at any level. Their oath, their training and the law are prefectly clear...
