According to nearly a dozen retired officers and current military lawyers, as well as scholars who teach at West Point and Annapolis, an intense if quiet debate is underway inside the U.S. military community about what orders it would be obliged to obey if President-elect Donald Trump decides to follow through on his previous warnings that he might deploy troops against what he deems domestic threats, including political enemies, dissenters and immigrants.

    Ah, so it’s not relevant at all because it’s literally not even based on our own universe…

    Thanks!

      It’s a hypothetical scenario on a military warship in space with refugees in tow.

      Also, it’s not even praising the police, just stating its purpose.

        Maybe in that universe…

        In ours “serve and protect” was never what the police were for, it was just a PR slogan they put in cruisers

        That’s what I’m talking about, our universe is not the same, although you seem to not be sure about how our universe works…
