Now that I do not know. One thing is for certain though it's saying he will respond with force. Force has been a deterrent for quite some time, especially when your opponent knows your willing to use it. Unfortunately, it's not to effective against a guerrilla type organization that doesn't engage in pitched battles. But then some experts still say we lost Vietnam because they didn't let us fight like the Vietcong did. The same could be said here I suppose. Part of this shows he's wiling to get dirty, just not how dirty yet.

Re: They are willing to destroy this country

I think certain politicians have forgotten this quote from Nuremburg:

"War is essentially an evil thing. Its consequences are not confined to the belligerent states alone, but affect the whole world. To initiate a war of aggression, therefore, is not only an international crime; it is the supreme international crime differing only from other war crimes in that it contains within itself the accumulated evil of the whole."

This is my two cents and demonstration.

Donald Trump job is to make America great. His second job is to not push the War button. He falls asleep and stupidity press the War Button causing World War 3. That's how it'll go down.

Re: They are willing to destroy this country

I have a fairly more optimistic take- Russia won't be happy about anything we're doing (not that they ever are). Trump, being the tactless expletive that he is, will mouth off, and we will enter into another cold war. This will last maybe a decade or so, but in the end, Trump finds his hands are too tiny to push the red button.

Or how about this take. Donald Trump hold the red button slips on a banana peel and fell causing the red button hits and landed on the floor causing World War 3. It's a classic but the most stupid way to cause World War 3.

Luckily, there really isn't "a red button" in that sense.

He'll need somebody to read him the codes, since he's illiterate. Hopefully they aren't strings of numbers with dollar signs in front of them. Those, I think, he might be able to read all by himself without a grown up present.

Re: They are willing to destroy this country

I just want to say NEVER READ THE COMMENTS on news articles.

OMG. Wanted to shoot self this morning.

1) The Commander in Chief, regardless of whom holds the title, is not subject to the UCMJ because they are not actually in the military. In this regard, they are no different than civilian employees of the DoD.

2) A military member cannot be charged for actions against the UCMJ that they committed as a civilian prior to the military or after leaving the military unless they are a reservist (whether an active duty reservist or IRR), because they haven't "left" the military at this point.

3) A former military member might not even be able to be charged for actions against the UCMJ that they committed while in the military after they are discharged from the military, per SCOTUS decision Toth v. Quarles, with some exceptions, such as a fraudulent acts taken to secure an honorable discharge where the discharge can be demonstrated to be invalid.

4) Retirees, whether for disability, or for time in service, are still considered to be in the military and are therefore another such exception (with a lot of case law history). While subject to statute of limitations and the service's prosectorial discretion, retirees are subject to recall for the purposes of being charged for actions against the UCMJ while on active duty and, in some rare instances, may even be recalled for actions taken against the UCMJ after active service. (Per articles 2 and 3 of the UCMJ and DoD Directive 1352.1)


So no, the retired Army general being recalled and charged for raping a minor while on AD in the 1980s is not equivalent to Bill Clinton's rape accuse (or for that matter, Comrade Cheeto's) you dumb effing news trolls.

Re: They are willing to destroy this country

You might have to explain just what UCMJ means to some of our members who have never been in the Service.

Re: They are willing to destroy this country

UCMJ=Universal code of Military Justice. The law for those in the military. You are subject to trial by court marshal.

Re: They are willing to destroy this country

That should be Uniform Code of Military Justice
