***Question: From whence does an officer gain his authority to issue a command to a soldier?***
Good question. A lot of posts refer to *refusing orders from a superior officer*.
Wonder how that would have been handled if a young Ft. Hood corporal had refused to help Maj.Hasan Nidal load his weapon.

They would say “that’s different because the order was illegal!” without either explaining why such an order was illegal OR how [in the case of Obama not being Constitutionally eligible for President, and that the Constitution assigning the position of Commander-in-Chief to the President] it would be different than someone impersonating some officer and issuing commands to some enlisted soldiers.
