Why would the military follow Trumps order to leave Afghanistan when they didn’t follow the order Trump gave them 3 weeks ago to leave Syria?
Article 2, Section 2 of the Constitution makes it clear that the President of the United States is the Commander in Chief of the military.
Three weeks ago the Commander in Chief ordered the military to leave Syria and send the troops home.
The Pentagon went rogue and refused to carry out the Commander in Chief’s lawful order.
The Pentagon decided that rather then sending the troops home they would send “several hundred” of them to the oil fields in eastern Syria to join the “several hundred” US troops already there.
The remaining troops were sent to northern Iraq to be deployed elsewhere in the Middle East because the Iraqi government has called for the withdrawal of all US troops from its country.
Syria never invited us into their country in the first place so we’re there illegally.
When the military brass countermands the lawful orders of the Commander in Chief that’s called a military coup.
Regardless of how we feel about Trump this isn’t about him, it’s about the military violating our Constitution in such a blatant way.
Every generals responsible for refusing to comply with Trumps lawful order to leave Syria and send the troops home should immediately be removed from their command and court martialed under Article 92 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ).
