Still waiting for the Generals with a moral compass to resign.

1. If enough generals with moral compasses resign...

...they will be replaced by generals without said compasses, and that seems an incredibly dangerous state of affairs.

We would have to hope that the resignations are numerous enough and high-profile enough to damage the standing of the Administration.

2. That is the "Canary in the Coal Mine" moment.

So I sincerely hope we never get to that point.

We're up against a deadline. Mueller really needs to get-'er-done....

3. The generals may see it as a "desertion,"

and although some of their philosophies may not be in sync with ours, I have to believe they love the United States. I don't think they'll abandon the nation to the likes of trump, bannon, milker, and gorka.

4. Worked for quite a few Flag Officers in my time in the Navy

My experience is that the percentage of Flag Officers without a "moral compass" is about where the Orange Shitgibbons approval rating is.

5. That's not how they see it

They served the country before Trump, and look at it as their role to provide stability and continuity to the military no matter who is in that offic.

Resigning to them would be abandoning those they lead when they are needed the most.

6. I.don't want the generals to resigns

I want people who will disobey an unlawful order to stay.
