Now Trump is at war with the generals

Ah, so it is only your opinion. A civilian, who has fulfilled his/her obligations, is not subject to the UCMJ, and is not obligated to follow orders from a military officer. But your claim is that that is not true. Good luck finding any legal precedent to support that opinion.

Caveat: retired officers are still officers and could be considered obligated to their oath. Note that they do not swear to follow orders, though. A retired General can still be considered obligated under his/her oath, but criticizing the President certainly doesn’t violate that oath.

You are correct a civilian is not enforced to keep the oath, that is true, however an oath does not expire unless stated.


Criticizing the president in general does not violate any oath anyways unless he has specific orders to not criticize him, it would however land someone in hot water if not retired.
