To the editor: I recognize the dedication and the navy service of ML Cavanaugh; nonetheless, Donald Trump can’t be trusted to “help and defend the Structure of america in opposition to all enemies, overseas and home.” He advised greater than 30,000 lies throughout his tenure in workplace, in accordance with the Washington Post; ordered the assassination of Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani, scary severe accidents to American navy personnel; incited a riot on Jan. 6, 2021; and has been convicted of 34 felonies.
On July 1, the Supreme Courtroom successfully dominated within the phrases of Richard Nixon: “If the president does it, it’s not unlawful,” giving Trump immunity from prosecution for “official acts” whereas in workplace. What occurs if both by perceived risk, retaliation or miscalculation, Trump orders a nuclear strike? The commandant of the Air Pressure should comply? For the reason that ruling “for the ages” from the Supreme Courtroom, there are not any extra unlawful orders.
If Donald J. Trump is inaugurated on Jan. 20, the rule of legislation and the Structure are historical past, and Trump is free to order the incarceration of his “enemies listing” and/or execution of his navy generals for failing to conform along with his orders.

To the editor: It needs to be anticipated, very like Republican senators ignored legislation and did not convict Trump when he was impeached, that there might be teams inside the navy that can honor unlawful orders. There might be sufficient generals (like Michael Flynn) and navy legal professionals that can fortunately observe Trump’s orders, simply as assuredly as these within the rank and file who’re additionally believers.
Trump has already begun this with a warriors commission, deliberate to weed out unbelieving generals.
