Should American officers have given up their commissions when we were beating on the Serbs and helping the terrorist KLA?

Yes.

There is right and there is wrong in this world. Unlawful orders given by two 'presidents' should be met with defiance including resignation.

Hmm... Debatable IMHO—and I feel much more strongly about what we did to affect the geopolitical balance in the Balkans than what we’re doing with Fatah. Israel’s staying well-apprised of what we’re doing, and our efforts seem very limited. Again, I don’t see the type of training we’re giving the Palestinians as having any impact on the Israelis’ ability to conduct operations in the West Bank. It’s not an ideal situation, but barring outright occupation of the West Bank and Gaza, it’d probably be in Israel’s best interest to have a Palestinian counter to Iran’s proxy Hamas. Being able to play on off against the other is preferable to having a unified Palestinian enemy.
