You forgot mutiny. The President's order is not unlawful therefore must be carried out. Question is, IS there an actual order? Trump saying so to the media is NOT giving a direct order to the Service Secretaries.
WHO is "the Pentagon"? JCS? Service Secretaries? The dumbass civilian that permeate the joint from roof to cellar and all offices in between? "The Pentagon" has to be more specific an entity to issue an order.
Defying a direct lawful order by more than one person in concert is mutiny.
Legalities aside, I see the military losing this one. It always does. It's the social experimentation laboratory for the PC government because they have an audience that can't say no. Even if Trump issues and order and fights it, the next Dem that comes along will change it. Our society is too fag happy anymore.
