What is the US Strategic Command?
We hear that title every once in a blue moon and we understand it to be some sort of gigantic military government entity that makes decisions about war and espionage on a global basis.
The United States Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM) is actually one of nine separate commands in the US Department of Defense (DOD). Of the nine, STRATCOM provides rapid-response to threats advice to the Congress and the president.
Inside this network of nine commands are Strategic Deterrence, Global Strike, the DOD’s Global Information Grid, Strategic Warning, Integrated Missile Defense, Global Command, Control, Communications, Computers (C4), Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) (together known as C4ISR).
The head of the US Strategic Command is Air Force General John Hyten. Recently in a conference regarding the Halifax International Security Forum in Canada, General Hyten was asked a question regarding his philosophy on nuclear strikes and whether he would blindly follow the order if given by the president to do so.
Turn to the next page to see his response and how it has been taken to mean that the general would disobey orders if presented with the situation!
Replace his butt.
If this is true then President Trump can easily remove him.
Needs to retire.
General he is the commander in chief, your boss. He can fire you at will. Insubordination is a court martial my direct under UMCJ. I hope you have more respect for him than that.
Bye the way I never heard any thing from this general when he made a deal with Iran, or the red line on Lybia
Amazing
Did this puppet say a peep to obummer or bill the draft-dodger Clinton gave north Korea 4 billion dollars to get rid of their nukes hello still have them, obummer gave nukes to iran plus uranium to Russia hello puppet
General…you are relieved.
Trump never said he would do a nuclear bomb at them SMH most stirring the pot that is not there!!!
Besides trump was not talking of a bomb, how stupid
If war is declared. Then it would not be illegal. Sooo if NRK launches a missile into our or our allies territory That would be an act of war.
