And that money is going to be used to maximum effect come this fall
His latest from his legal team about the president being able to use seal team six to assassinate political rivals is another soundbite for the Democrats.

@LMAO Who made that claim,and when?
SEAL Team 6 is no different than any other US Military organization. The commanders AND the enlisted swine have a sworn obligation to NOT follow illegal orders,and I am having a hard time trying to think of an order MORE illegal than an order for a military organization to commit assassinations against a US politician.
Call me a "starry-eyed dreamer" but I find it impossible to believe that the "shooters" in SEAL Team 6 or any other elite military organization would follow any such order,regardless of who issued the order or the consequences. That sort of thing may be acceptable in police states like China and Russia,but NOT in the US.
Hell,I consider the likely hood of ANY Seal Team officer receiving such an order to follow it to verge on the impossible. First of all,there is no way an actual SEAL Team or any other elite US Military organization would do anything less than tell the officer issuing the order to go piss up a rope. You don't get to serve in elite military organizations if you are dumber than dirt,never mind become an officer.
AND,you can bet your bippy that the senior enlisted swine in ALL the elites organizations know how to get back in touch with senior commanders they used to serve with who can then in turn get in touch with the proper authorities to have the commander that gave those orders arrested.
Or,if for whatever reason they couldn't do that,I would look for the officer that issued those orders to have a "tragic accident". It might not be fatal,but it would be serious enough to get them removed from Spec Ops duty,and maybe result in medical retirement.
The people that volunteer for and serve on these teams are NOT dummies and they have a VERY strong sense of both duty and honor. Bleep with one and find out for yourself.
Those of you who never served in one of these elite small units might be surprised to know that in many/most cases,the enlisted swine and the officers call each other by their first names when no one NOT on the team isn't around. I write "many/most" because I don't know everyone who ever served on all of these teams from the various branches. Or even in the SF "Special Operations" teams.
Sometimes you don't even know what good friends from previous teams are doing. It was not uncommon to meet an old friend you hadn't seen in a while and when you ask him "What are you doing these days",and get a reply like "Oh,this,that,and the other." You immediately know better than to ask any more questions related to their current duty assignment. If you were a Special Operations operator and met another Special Operations operator you had served with previously,you would probably get a response like "I am working with Project whatever",and THAT is all you need to know to understand that you need to stop asking those questions unless maybe you want to volunteer and ask your friend to put in a good word for you. IF there is an opening and IF the commander thinks you would be suitable,you will soon get orders coming in that will order your transfer,and you can and will get briefed on what you need to know when you get there. BTW,this ONLY works for career guys that have pulled special ops duties before and who are known operators.
I am only guessing that the Special Operations units in the rest of the military "recruit members" like the US Army does. The VERY first thing done is a complete background check. I am talking about going deep enough they question your high school principle about your character and conduct. You don't pass that or there are any questions about your character,you will never hear of them and you will never even hear why you weren't accepted. This is all for actual team members. I suspect the background test for administrative people attached to special operations unit meets the same basic requirements,but without the combat background.
In ALL cases the ultimate decision lays in the hands of the team leader. If the team leader doesn't want you for whatever reason,you don't get on THAT team,period. You might get accepted later for assignment to another team if there is an opening,but you wait for it to happen,you don't make it happen.
