Maybe he realizes, like the rest of us, that Trump is f***ing nuts. I admire a guy who doesn't want to see the world obliterated because some self absorbed, narcissistic fool forgot to put his big boy pants on when another world leader decides that glorifying Trump is just not on the agenda for the day.
Someone thinking of others besides himself and the consequences of a nuclear war on the rest of the planet. That's a foreign concept to Trump and his little Trumplings. Trump's ego is most certainly not worth destroying the world.
Well, I guess some think the trump has the button under his bed....
Why are generals making these comments though that are just inviting the news media to go wild?
I doubt in an earlier, more dignified era that generals would speak so bluntly and public like this.
There is the first amendment but it just seems disrespectful to the commander and chief to give speeches passively like that.
I think it was intentional; to calm down the highly paranoid liberals that know nothing about the strict procedures in place to authorize the release of nuclear weapons. A lot of people buy into the left-wing media's fear mongering.

Didn't he solemnly swear to obey the orders a President when he enlisted decades ago?
Why are generals who have been in the service for decades making unfiltered comments like that?
Tremendously disturbing and unprofessional of him to say that while the world is listening. It is almost as if he in a very passive way is trying to cheapen and demean President Trump.
What strange times we live in? I don't know if he passively implying anything about the current President but it just seems strange to me.
Seems like the Pentagon is even at a loss for word's over the general's comments. It just seems very inappropriate for a general to make those sort of comments when the world is watching.
Seems like he is making passive remarks and demeaning our President. Isn't the President of the Commander of Chief?
1. Generals (officers) don't enlist, they are commissioned in ...enlisted ranks are private thru Sergeant Major
2. the order would come FROM the pentagon, who would recommend it, and ASK for the POTUS to authorize (approve) it
3. being he is the commander of USSTRATCOM, which is cyber defense and nuclear DEFENSE, NOT first strike, he wouldn't get an order to launch on anyone.....unless they were launching on us

This particular commander in chief has judgment issues. He tries to run this country like a reality show. Stay tuned! Announcement coming! Give me a break. The fact that he had to ask why can't we use nukes if we have them should make those in charge sit up and take notice. I'm glad people are paying attention.
President Trump is extremely experienced in diplomatic negotiation through his resort empire. President Trump has mastered the art of communication, negotiation and compromise through his decades of experience being one of the most successful real estate empire's the world has ever seen.
President Trump is almost always right. His comments or Tweet's have never caused an issue. He is a brilliant man and thinks everything through before he makes public comments.
I am sure the general is a very decorated servant but I think we all can agree that President Trump is a man of unquestioned brilliance.
you sound as far in the tank for trump as odanny is for hillary and obama.
