How can we be sure that this is so?

- Can Trump make military decisions by himself (i.e. not choose among the ones that are offered to him by the military)?

- Hasn't it been established recently that the military have the right to refuse his orders if they are particularly crazy (see e.g. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/donald-tru...)?
