CNN has a scoop about the legal advice the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff received in connection with the boat strikes in the Caribbean:
How should a military commander respond if they determine they have received an unlawful order?
Request to retire — and refrain from resigning in protest, which could be seen as a political act, or picking a fight to get fired.
That was the previously unreported guidance that Brig. Gen. Eric Widmar, the top lawyer for the Joint Chiefs of Staff, gave to the country’s top general, Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Dan Caine, in November, according to sources familiar with the discussion.
Do you agree?
Stay tuned.
