Former NSA/CIA Chief: Why Armed Forces Can't Legally Obey Trump

[JakeStarkey]

"If he were to order that once in government, the American armed forces would refuse to act."

Michael Hayden, the former head of the NSA and CIA, thinks some of presidential candidate Donald Trump's campaign promises are so unlawful that the U.S. Armed Forces could not follow them as orders.

These include Trump's claim that people deserve to be waterboarded even if it doesn't work and that he would target the families of terrorists. The internationally recognized Geneva Convention bars such action.

"If he were to order that once in government, the American armed forces would refuse to act," Hayden said Friday during an appearance on "Real Time with Bill Maher." "You are required not to follow an unlawful order that would be in violation of all the international laws of armed conflict."

Hayden added that he would be "incredibly concerned" if Trump followed through with his campaign promises as president.

Former CIA Head Explains Why Armed Forces Can't Legally Obey Trump

Wow, this would create a very scary scenario for American armed forces - and America.

I thought it was the CIA, that did the few waterboardings that happened during the Bush Administration. If that is the case, the military hasn't and won't do it anyway. I didn't see where Trump mentioned ordering the military to do it either.

He can't lawfully order the CIA to do it either.

 

[Bassman007]

The Geneva Constitution is part of American treaty law. The part that applies to the laws of war is OUR law as well. That means Trump as President can be arrested for ordering the military to violate the Law of War. That means Sarah can be President. Oh, joy.

You watch too much TV goofy, the military has never waterboarded anyone, they cut off fingers and feet. Just like in the movies.

What a load of crap, you folks seem to enjoy getting our people killed and maimed. The Geneva Convention applies to armies fighting under the flags of countries, not terrorist organizations. So you best have a good supply of body bags if you demand our guys play by some bullshit rules when the bad guys could give a shit about rules. Also if they have actionable intel that a bad guy is in a building or a vehicle it's perfectly acceptable to take them out, doesn't matter who they're with.

The argument that we have to be exactly like the terrorists to beat them is a losing one.

Goofy is a great meme for you, bass. They took ears from the dead, as well. The President under the war powers of the executive cannot waive the law of war for any employee of the federal government.

And which war have you been in? I'm not advocating gratuitous violence, just doing what's necessary to win. It's the other side that has no qualms about gratuitous violence, in fact it's a full part of their strategy. The rules of engagement can't ignore that fact.

But if you insist on following the Geneva Convention, let's start executing all combatants fighting out of uniform.
