Its actually kind of complicated regarding nukes. If Trump said 'i want to nuke Toronto' it would probably be considered an unlawful order. But if he said 'nuke north korean nuclear sites' I doubt they would refuse. Even if they have misgivings most of the officers in the military have no issue with finally dealing with North Korea. The military mindset is predicated on assuming the worst so for soldiers shooting first while the enemy is still weak is considered preferable to later.It depends on what Trump would order. Exactly how it would go and whether the VP would be informed in time its complicated.The brass wants this to be over but they also want to deal with emerging threats while they are still considered containable.So while they might not like it most generals would view a strike on Iran or NK as a good thing for America in the long run.
