Our men in uniform have a code of honor. They may resign, but they will obey as long as they wear the uniform.

Not only has Obama irritated the military, he has attacked the CIA. Wasn’t there a president about 40 years ago who made some enemies in the CIA? Not a good idea.

Seems we tried — and hanged — a whole bunch of folks at Nuremberg after WWII for “just follink orders.”

An American service man is SUPPOSED to disobey an order he knows to be UNLAWFUL IF he is prepared to bear the consequences of that decision.

If some deranged 2nd Lt. orders his men to gang rape an non-combatant 12 year old foreign national girl in a combat area are they supposed to follow THAT order?

I can think of hundreds of such examples and so, I would hope, could you.

Your blanket “OBEY” in your post scares hell out of decent, sensible people — and should.
