Prof. Theodore Postol: ‘There’s a real chance military officers would tell Trump ‘NO’ if he ordered nuclear weapons to be used against Iran.’
‘Military officers are servants of the American Constitution, and they are mostly concerned with not doing harm to the United States and also providing military capabilities when it’s needed.
And that means that they are very reserved about, they understand the limits. The soldiers I know at least understand the limits of what military activities can do.
And, I’d be surprised if many of them are for this.
I think if Trump ordered, for example, to use nuclear weapons, I can’t say for sure, but I think there’s a real chance that people will say no.
I mean, thank God the American system has a military that has been trained and is dedicated to supporting the Constitution of the United States.
If you talk to people about their ethical standards, if it comes up against a choice of doing something that could overtly lead to the destruction or terrible damage to the United States, I think almost all military officers will not do it.
And I think using nuclear weapons is one of those things. It’s in a very special category.’
