And I think the number of examples we have of military generals refusing a direct order from a President because they thought it was illegal is... zero? I haven't found any, anyway.
Hyten's literal comment is that he'd find a way to take whatever illegal order he was given and achieve the same end legally. Not reassuring. I agree 100% that "legality" is not the right framing here — it's a bare minimum standard. https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/u-s-strategic-command-gen-john-hyten-resist-illegal-nuke-order-from-trump/ …pic.twitter.com/MeTESVg9XI
