Nope.. the JCS is a body of individuals who have managed to make their way there. Unfortunately, like a any body, there are a few pricks. We saw one who surfaced quite quickly when #45 took office.., didn't we? And, as we have clearly observed they have a following. Military members operate under the precept of "a lawful order". So, when their particular officer-in-charge says "charge".., 99% of them will respond. Simply, it is not for them to reason why, it's for them to do or die. The 1% are in the brig and whether the "order was lawful or not might get decided upon later. So don't hand me that 'military solution crap'. Leaders come and go. We've had a few. This country is far from a finished piece of artwork; 350 years is but a flash in a 5000 year old bonfire. Err on civility. The other road is not the road you want to be on when your testosterone level wains. How's your memory doing?
