If Trump orders them to attack American People and that is not in the mission of the military - what recourse does the military have to deal with that and Trump's unlawful order.
I understand the military is to follow orders and Trump is the Commander-In-Chief. But what if he gives an unlawful order? What do they do?
I understand that many of the Top Brass of the military have spoken out against Trump already - but is that enough?
