OK, and their orders, etc.? It is CIC Obama that is expanding our force in Afghanistan. If he’s illegit, aren’t his orders also illegit?

Get off your anti-Obama soap box for a moment and consider very carefully the magnitude of the extremely dangerous idiocy you and others on this thread appear to be supporting.

What you are supporting, in no uncertain terms, is a situation whereby the either military as a whole, or the individual members thereof, get to decide who they will or will not obey.

History is full of examples of the suicidal stupidity of such a position.

Soapbox aside, Obama may have pulled off the greatest deception in US history. It’s going to take some strong, courageous acts to oppose that. As I said, I hope this soldier understands the implications.

First Lieutenant Ehren Watada pulled this against Pres. Bush at Fort Lewis, and his charges were dropped...

How is this different?

If soldiers were doing this willy nilly for no reason, yes, I’d think it idiotic and dangerous to talk about it.

But what if there is a very legitimate reason? How is that ‘idiocy?’

What people are telling you is that his first obligation is to our constitution. If Obama is an usurper and ineligible to hold the office, then the officer is honoring his oath by refusing an order from a CIC that has broken the same oath.

Get off your pro-Obama soapbox, stop making moronic arguments for five minutes and understand that if the CIC is illegitimate, no member of the military has any business implementing his military agenda.

It's that simple. There's no nuance.

Damn, progressives are stupid idiots.
