I may be the only one that noticed or that it bothered, but did anyone else have their ears perk up when Trump made the comment about the military ""listening to him" in regard to going after the families of terrorists?
In case you missed it, they asked Trump about whether his comments about torture, etc. would hurt the country in international relations. Apparently he has mentioned going after the families of terrorists. I fully admit I am not knowledgeable about military law, but I believe it was Rubio who pointed out that going after non-combatants was against military law/code of conduct. (Correct me if I'm wrong here) Trump then made the comment about "they will listen to me" above the law.
Now I hate terrorists as much as anyone else and understand that normal "rules" don't apply, but a lot of our current issues are due to the president/politicians not following the law. I realize it's a lot of leaps, but how about that constitutional law regarding illegal search and seizure? Maybe at your house taking your firearms?
It's easy to get behind a guy who throws out all the stuff we are angry about, but if you don't have laws/rules you don't have a society. Again... I'm probably paranoid so feel free to tell me I'm wrong.
