Depends on the circumstances, of course. But, as a sandbox exercise my guess is, unfortunately, the vast majority of enlisted personnel would follow much of the junior officer corps and almost certainly err on the side of obeying orders.

The Republicans have been swear-to-gawd promising they're on the verge of inveiling an improved alternative to Obamacare.
For 15 years now.
That's how long they've been working on this dazzling piece of legislation.
And what have they produced?
An obese, overly tarted-up dementia sufferer burping out "Concept of a plan."
Still ...
No concept.
No plan.
They are not serious about a "plan."
They are serious about screwing you over, though.

Let's hear Trump's full explanation for the causes and effects of World War I, unedited for either length or coherence, with special focus on the brief US involvement in that conflict.

Surprised it took until the fourth paragraph for the odious Corey Lewandowski to make an appearance in this raggedy tale of grifters run amok.

So, as Trump sees it, Americano workers are lacking talent and just aren't up to it. Hmmmmmmm ...

Perhaps he could salvage his misadministration from terminal mega-mediocrity by hiring a new, improved Cabinet filled with folks bearing the same credentials as his wife: a H-1B visa.

Do these "conservative influencers" know what's actually in those files?
No.
But Trump does.
And he is in a panic because he most definitely does not want us to see them.
Now, MAGAts, why do you suppose that's the way of it?

Well, there's Boondoggle Ranch - the cluelessness really wraps itself around that one - and then there's ...

Coriolanus, regarding how long it took King to write that book - read a bit by a British comedy writer recently in which he was asked about inspiration. Basically, he explained the creative process as follows: Take a piece of letter-sized paper and carefully insert it into into your typewriter's carriage. Then, next to it, place the gas bill.

We often encounter references to the Ancient Greek concept of isolative hubris triggerimg the retributive effects of nemesis. Less often do we learn the nature of that retribution. It was, frequently, mania: madness.

You've either been watching those Night Court late night reruns again or raising the bar by taking in a couple of Perry Mason episodes. (Hint if you're going down that road: Hamilton Burger never gets it right. Ever.)

"[O]f course he knew about the girls as he asked ghislaine to stop."
Stop what?
No context here.

Probably refers to her eating too many stone crab claws at the buffet. That or her endless pro-windmill tirades poolside.

From the emails:

Added to that, the US just isn't any damn good at this sort of stuff.
The initial blasting, kabooming, and lighting up the night sky stuff?
Yeah., okay, grrrrrrrrr.
But the actual hard werk afterwards?
Pretty wretched, when you think about it.

You guys know you are inferring he had sex. Nothing in any of that specifically said Trump was banging kids.

Until the person who was actually in the room with Trump comes in and says "Yes, he ------ me", it's only hearsay and Epstein's and Maxwell's word.

Per the article:

April 2011
EPSTEIN TO MAXWELL: "I want you to realize that that dog that hasn't barked is Trump." He added that an unnamed victim "spent hours at my house with him ... he has never once been mentioned."
MAXWELL TO EPSTEIN: "I have been thinking about that."

Someone I don't know, never heard of, wouldn't recognize in a lineup came up to me on bended knee, cheeseburglar in hand, and roared, "Sirrrrrrrrrrrr! Mr. Trump spent time with that underage female type human person, but only to teach her how to play the piano. Specifically, Nearer My God To Thee.' Thank you and retrospectively submitted,

Had a quick chat family firefighter, who found the idea interesting. Would love to see a drone that could somehow be used to identify a weak spot in the fire and deal with it to change the overall threat. As for the machine in this story, reaction was interest but can it arrive at the scene and be, essentially, water (or whatever) on within 2-minutes? I think firefighters spend so much time creating teams and relying on the human factor and the inherent unpredictability associated with their work that individual, personal control is important - although there is openness to technological changes, I detected no interest in being involved in serving as a test subject.

Interesting. I will sound out my firefighter son about it and get his reading. The first task is to ensure responders' safety and this seems to work in that direction.

Interesting piece.
She's an organizer; good at it, too.

A note from Wikipedia re the sinking, Lightfoot, and the song:

You. Are. On. A. Roll!
Lol

"Concept of a plan" is synonymous with an ---- reaming.
Don't worry, it's what Trump and the GOP do.
It's their way.
Think of it as a concept of a plan.

The author explains:

America was founded as a Christian nation based on Judeo-Christian principles. Because of this, God blessed America more than any other nation in history, making her exceptional. God has a special plan for America to be a shining city on a hill for the world to see, but that's being threatened by the evil forces of liberalism, secularism, feminism, sexual liberation, Marxism, and communism. Put succinctly: America is under attack. These demonic forces have taken root in family, religion, education, media, entertainment, business, and government. As Christians, we must do everything we can to bring God back to America"otherwise, God will continue to bring judgment on the country and we'll no longer have a nation.

Trump, Bessent, Lutnik, Hassett and Navarro ...
What could possibly go awry?
