From the previous thread about Herman Cain and Stewart Varney:

Assholes.

It would appear to be the goal to weaken or discredit the US military. I can’t imagine who that might benefit.

Giving an unlawful order which is so heinous would likely cause a significant portion of the military to disobey the order as unlawful.

Those who obey it are war criminals, those who disobey it (in theory) could be charged with mutiny (a death penalty offence).

I am not very hopeful with a guy nicknamed “mad dog” in charge of DOD (and not putting military personnel in charge of DOD is precisely to avoid situations such as this).

To disobey such an order (if it came down from the President) would be the military directly disobeying the civilian government.
