They will court martial him, discharge him, and remove his standing to challenge obama
Nope!
The military can NOT court martial him without the benefit of "discovery" or the ability to call any witness which can exonerate him--not that they won't try, considering that Gates is a 1st class, sycophant, Dear Leader, butt boy!!!
So you think the military trial by Court Martial will be nothing but a show? That he won't be allowed to argue his contention that the orders he is disobeying are unlawful? That he won't be able to obtain witnesses (and documents) for his defense?
I don't think a military judge and Court are likely to go there. They may not in the final analysis agree with him, but they will give him every opportunity to defend himself. As required by both the 6th amendment and the UCMJ.
Yup. Nobody remembers when SP/4 Michael New refused to serve under the NWO army of the UN but they did the same thing to him. They will utterly crush anybody who refuses to march in lockstep to the declared globalist agenda. I'm sure this guy has had hundreds of other soldiers (officers and enlisted alike) whisper to him that he's doing the right thing and they're prayers are with him and yada yada yada but nobody is going to sacrifice their careers or lives to stand with him. Even if they did, they'd ALL go down in flames in the end. The system is simply set up that way.
Do you have a crystal ball?
If they discharge him, that alone should give him standing, from what I read and understand.
