Is there something fishy about BHO? Sure, we’re in agreement here, but when it comes to what this LTC did, you guys are missing something.

The military is an organization that, at it’s heart, operates on the understanding of the chain of command. Every member has his or her place on that chain and this LTC stepped out of the chain when he refused the orders of his brigade commander, who is his superior officer.

The ones who have the responsibility to assure that our Commander-in-Chief is actually eligible to occupy that position are the Congress and SCoTUS, not the military. The military TAKES their orders from the President, they don’t give orders to the President. Once BHO was sworn in as President, the Military was honor bound to obey him even if they disagreed with him. To do otherwise is to stage a coup, which WILL NOT happen.

Do I agree that BHO is probably not eligable to be President? Yes. Do I think that the military dishonored itself in serving him? Hell no. They upheld their honor by carrying out their duty to this country and obeying the orders issued by the Commander-in-Chief despite their own personal opinions. They upheld the chain of command, doing their duty even when it wasn’t expedient or possibly even safe to do so. It’s what they do best.

That reads as if it were written by a "National Socialist".

How does the officers’ vow to uphold the US Constitution fit into the scenario that you just described? If somebody stepped in and took over the presidency illegally, would the officers’ vow to uphold the Constitution demand anything other than servile obedience to the illegal “president”?

I would really appreciate a common-sense, boots to the ground, practical answer to that question. So far nobody has given me ANYTHING in response to this question.
