1. Trump will destroy our military. Having US forces stand idle while Turkey & his Jihadist forces attack civilians will destroy morale. @thejointstaff have a duty to tell the President when his command violates the Law of Armed Conflict. He has agreed to a genocide. No officer

2. should stand idly in the face of such a violation. You have a duty to report Trump to the Congress if you don't you will have violated the law. Here it is in simple terms:

What should you do if you think you’ve been given an illegal order?

3. First, ask for clarification. Maybe the order was unclear, or you didn’t understand it. If you still think the order is illegal, try to get it withdrawn. If that doesn’t work, you must disobey it. If others obey the order, you have the duty to report that violation of the law

4. of armed conflict.

Turkey is allied with ISIS and Al-Qaeda who are embedded in the Turkish force attacking NES. The @NSAGov and @CIA know. The AUMF means the Turkish force is an identified enemy force. Allowing it to commit a genocide is unlawful regardless

5. of @POTUS' order. The @DeptofDefense is in a Nuremberg moment. How people address it is going to impact lives here and abroad for generations. You have a duty to report Trump to Congress. Any less is a violation of the Law of Armed Conflict.
