WASHINGTON, DC — The following is the statement of VoteVets senior advisor and former Iraq War Commander, Major General Paul D. Eaton (USA, Ret.) on Donald Trump’s threat to wipe out the civilization in Iran, tonight:
“Wiping out an entire civilization is the definition of genocide. Any order given to that effect must be refused by every service member up and down the chain — period.
“This is exactly what senators were talking about when they issued a video saying illegal orders must be refused. Now it may be time for service members to follow their recommendation.”
