And that would set the stage for the most serious confrontation between the military and the presidency since the Civil War, because when asked about this 4 star General Michael Hayden, the only man ever to have been head of both the National Security Agency and the Central Intelligence Agency, said the CIA would flat out refuse to obey such a presidential order and "If some future president is going to decide to waterboard, he’d better bring his own bucket, because he’s going to have to do it himself". Trump would also order soldiers to become war criminals and to kill the wives and children of suspected terrorists, he said “You have to take out their families. They say they don’t care about their lives so you have to take out their families.” When hundreds of military officers said they would disobey such a illegal order from their commander in chief Trump said "They won’t refuse. They’re not gonna refuse me. Believe me. I’m a leader, I’ve always been a leader. I’ve never had any problem leading people. If I say do it, they’re going to do it."</font></div><div><br></div><div><font size="4">Donald Trump is a irrational sadistic nut with a hair trigger temper who has demonstrated a propensity to act before he thinks, and yet millions of people believe this would be the perfect man to hand the nuclear launch codes to. I am afraid. Imagine what things would be like if Trump had been president in 1962 during the Cuban Missile Crises, today you and I wouldn't be here and neither would civilization. It's true that Trump will probably never be president, the betting market only gives him a 26.5% chance, but a 26.5% chance that you will be shot would still be cause for concern. </font></div><div><font size="4"><br></font></div><div><font size="4"> John K Clark </font></div></div></div></div>
