If Trump ordered a nuclear missile attack on North Korea would the military carry it out?

He is not going to nuke North Korea you idiot.

4. This isn't a rhetorical question. Are you sure?

Members of the military are under no obligation to follow unlawful orders. I would add embodied in my question is the assertion that the attack would be out of the blue with no clear casus belli.

8. The answer is yes.

Because the nuclear launch process is designed for speed, not deliberation.

Also, you obviously have no idea what a rhetorical question is.

13. I would tell you what you can do with your ad hominem attack but I don't want a hide.

You're clearly not worth one.

18. You apparently don't know what an ad hominem is, either.

An ad hominem attack is a fallacious argument with which one side attacks the other's character instead of the substance of their position. It does not apply to insults, japes, jibes, or, in this case, observations the concerned party would rather not hear, that occur throughout the process of reasoning with the substance of that position.

29. I know what a rhetorical question, an ad hominem attack, and a pedant is.

And your pedantry is off putting and boring. I would say a lot more but you aren't worth a hide.

I need to take more time to read the DUmp this weekend... work is about to bury me.
They must be eating each other alive right now, all vying for the top conspiracy/propaganda/paranoia thread.

21. I know a guy who was a navy nuclear launch officer


He hated Trump with a passion and feared his election for this very reason alone.

If the codes are issued, it is a lawful order. Period.

That is, in fact, why he left the navy. When he realized that he could not, he had to quit. The guys that do this are checked and drilled on this shit.

If Trump requested a fork to use in eating his pizza, would a NY pizza place give him one with his pizza?

I really did work with a guy that was part of a three man team that inspected and drilled nuclear teams. There was one guy that just chewed their asses off and another one would be just slightly less of a hard ass. Then there was the third one that they called "The Reasonable Man." He was the guy that kind of lifted the spirits of the nuclear teams after the other two chewed them new ones. They switched rolls all the time. He was buying off a machine from us and he said "Today I will be the reasonable man." Which was nice because we were behind schedule for delivery.

Only if it was pepperoni with soggy crust. You need to support the end to keep the cheese from falling off.

Trump cures cancer. Liberals outraged.

Apparently, he would get two forks, along with two scoops of ice cream to everyone else's one, thus proving that Trump is unfair to everyone else at the table.
