The only checks on a reckless president are the human beings in the #nuclear chain of command, who would have to choose to abdicate their duties in order to stall or thwart an order they found reprehensible or insane.
Mutiny, however, is not a fail safe device.

Rieckhoff: Trump, smartly—and maybe stupidly—chose to hit the military first. They’re using the military and the Pentagon as a test case for everything they want to do in America.
And what I’d say is: if they can come after us, they can come after anyone.

Over & over again, Sen Dems asked Joint Chiefs nominee Dan Caine if he would push back on Trump if he tried to politicize the military, as his predecessors had to do. He assured Senators he would. Where is Caine now? In hiding? Witness protection? What is he doing about this?

Trump continued his war against America’s most cherished military traditions today when he delivered a speech at Fort Bragg. It is too much to call it a “speech”; it was, instead, a ramble, full of grievance & anger, just like his many political-rally performances www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...
