I can not defend a strawman of **your** creation. I have repeatedly stated that our men and women are brave, highly train, and people of high honor.
Our brave and honorable troops deserve to be serving under a legitimate Commander in Chief.
The **very** highest officers ( a **tiny** number) should be watching their backs. Do we really want a usurper in the White House with access to all of the most sensitive secrets, and the power to dictate insane ROEs?
And then they turn evil. That's not as strawman, that's your position. Anyone who spends too long in the military and gets promoted too high becomes "evil or stupid, and we know they're not stupid."
That's. Not. A. Strawman. That's your point.
Why is this crime less evil if a colonel or sergeant major does it? Or anyone else who is sword to ignore unlawful orders, knowing they can be punished for following unlawful orders? This isn't the Wehrmacht. If your commander tells you to line up kids, gun them down and turn their skin into lamp shades, you don't blame a **tiny** number at the top. You blame everyone who takes part. So, your argument doesn't hold water.
Checking Obama's paperwork isn't the military's job. It's the job of the congress, the courts and the people. You are slandering the entire military and you goddamned know it.
You are pathetic. This bullshit won't stand, not today. Not on a thread about 50 wounded U.S. Soldiers. In fact, I'll make time, for ten years of watching people die in Afghanistan and Iraq on your behalf, including field grade officers. I'll check in throughout the day to heap as much abuse on you as you want.
Admin, this is a courtesy ping. Feel free to ban me, but I am not letting this stand.
