Pentagon officials are reportedly discussing how to deal with orders from the soon-to-be-sworn-in commander-in-chief, Donald Trump, if they deem them “controversial.” It is reported that.
According to a report by CNN, these officials said they would choose to fire partisan employees if President Trump issues an order to send active-duty troops into the country, which may be necessary to carry out a mass deportation plan. They are trying to formulate countermeasures in case this happens.
Or what is left unsaid: removing the military from eternal war zones. (Note – this has already happened: don’t forget syria?)
“We’re all preparing and planning for the worst-case scenario, but the reality is we still don’t know how this will play out,” said one defense official. tell the outlet.
“The military is forced by law to disobey illegal orders,” added another. “But the question is, what happens after that? Will there be resignations of military leaders? Or will they see it as an abandonment of the people? ”
The Pentagon is trying to resist President Trump.
The problem, of course, lies in the concept of what constitutes an “unlawful order.”
President Trump’s advisers are already formulating plans to execute him. Promise of mass deportation If he takes office, his plans could include declaring a national emergency to divert Pentagon assets to detain and deport illegal immigrants.
He also promised to invoke the Alien Enemy Act, a wartime law that authorizes the president to arrest and deport illegal immigrants over the age of 14.
of state of law The president can order noncitizens to be “arrested, detained, captured, and removed as foreign enemies” if they are deemed to be from a “hostile country.”
As president, Mr. Trump would certainly have the right to do what he deems necessary to combat foreign invasion. It’s not appropriate for some ultra-leftist people (I think the Vindmans) to step in and say it’s “illegal.”

This is not the first time military officials have publicly acknowledged trying to overturn President Trump’s orders.
General Mark Milley openly colluded with then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) after the January 6 protests, labeling President Trump a “lunatic” and saying the nuclear codes were ” I was assured that it was safe.
At the time of Pelosi and Milley’s meeting, Trump was still in power, and military leaders cannot take military action against a political party to protect the country if the U.S. president deems it appropriate. He clearly stated.
In many ways, this tweet captures President Trump’s biggest problem. Anyone in their right mind knows that Trump had no intention of launching a nuclear weapon and that the focus here should be on Milley’s betrayal. but, @CBSNews And many others are branded in that he is an unstable loon. https://t.co/yG8GM8Vpxr

Milley reportedly vowed to fight then-President Trump “from within” in 2020 and dared people who opposed his actions to arrest him, according to excerpts from the book featured by Political Insider. .
“Huh–that’s it. […]After an incident during a June 2020 protest that resulted in a decision to clear rioters from Lafayette Square, Milley allegedly told staff, “I’m just going to fight him.” .
“If they want to court-martial me or put me in jail, so be it,” Milley continued. “But I fight from within.”
A literal rebellion.
According to Milly, title book danger The book, published in September 2021, assured General Li Zuocheng of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army that the U.S. military would not attack communist countries.
Perhaps most surprising are the quotes that indicate Millie’s willingness to do so. warn China if an attack is underway.
“General Lee, you and I have known each other for five years now. If we were to attack, I would call ahead,” he is said to have said. “That shouldn’t be surprising.”
literal treason.
Because we had employees like this during his first term, the people currently working at the Department of Defense are better I’m worried Trump will fire them.
