Ret. Major General Says He’s Been Told the Military Is ‘Already Saying No’ to Pentagon Higher-Ups

EXCERPT:

MANNER: “I think it’s more clear than ever before, this concept of following, that you’re not supposed to follow illegal orders. I have already indications that many targets that were recommended by the Secretary of Defense were rejected by CENTCOM, that they were civilian targets. It is something where, again, I don’t have firsthand knowledge. It’s secondhand knowledge. But I believe that people are already saying no to the hierarchy. The CENTCOM commander is walking a very thin line where he is trying to do the best he can to implement military objectives as he understands them without getting fired, is the best way to put it. In the same way that the Secretary of Defense has already fired several other Army, senior Army officers during times of war, which is unprecedented — by the way, for no apparent reason. So I think — I don’t think the world needs to be concerned. And I’m not trying to dismiss this renegade discussion and this bizarre behavior of our president. But I don’t think that anything substantial is going to happen tonight at 8 PM. I am — I believe that will — the answer will be no.”
