No matter what he says he would. You don't become a General by refusing orders.

And even if he would refuse he'd be removed from command and something willing to obey would replace him.

Said it before and will say it again. This is why I feel running to another country you have to think about. We have this insanely large military and a lot of damage can be done with it. We need to protest and refuse to work and whatever else we can do.

Now that they charge themselves 100% tariff on drones …

Jokes aside, I say we should get ready. Everybody can gain or polish some relevant skills that come in handy if it comes to it.

Best case you have a new hobby, worst case we make their life miserable if they decide to try and attack us.

Have they said no to any of the USA's other illegal invasions? Don't count on the bravery of Americans who tell you they would resist. Count on drones.

The military doesn't promote officers for refusing orders.

What a stupid ragebait headline. Of course a geneneral is not going to even suggest they would disobey a hypothetical lawful order. Why would someone end their career for some journalists gocha question?

Says nothing about his private thoughts or what he would actually do. Zero information value.
