In reply to the discussion: Woodward/Costa book: Worried Trump could 'go rogue,' Milley took top-secret action to protect nuclea [View all]Buckeye_Democrat
(14,853 posts)38. Except that Milley NEVER told anyone to disobey the President!
He was preparing for such an eventuality, sure, by telling top brass at the Pentagon to contact him if Trump gave nuke orders,
I wouldn't have a problem with that even with a Democratic President! The more people that are aware of such a world-changing order, the better! And hopefully the proper decision will be made, or the military will indeed disobey the command if it's assessed to be insane. But it never reached that point with Trump.

Very true. Trump over-stepped all boundaries and would be a dictator right now
