#1 #9 It's his duty to refuse to follow an ILLEGAL order; AFAICT he does not say nuking NorK would necessarily be illegal.

#2 I'll give Gen. Hyten failing marks for discussing anything with CNN’s Christiane Amanpour, particularly anything as sensitive as a nuclear response. WTF was he thinking ?

#6 All I know is the losers in places like Noo Yawk and LA will think this guy's a hero for being more likely to get them nuked. It seems to me it's going to be a self-correcting problem sooner or later.

President's are a dime a dozen.
