    Maybe. But I also see a lot of trump support within the military. I really don’t think it will be as cut and dry as you say. Especially if he goes through with his prosecuting and removal of every military officer involved in the Afghanistan exit, which to me just seems like a way to pick and choose loyalists in his military.

      That’s the thing he is going to find out. There are procedures for these things, and I seriously doubt that he can luck into getting consistent panels of 5 JAG that will throw the book at people over fabricated evidence. Also what he isn’t taking into account is that all of them have the defence that he ordered them to do it, so the buck stops with him. Having the military put the POTUS under military tribunal because he forced them to would be pretty funny though.
