Must be a rude awakening to realize their CIC is a total jerk.
If Congress passes it, they can’t do a damned thing. If Congress votes no, and Obama does it anyways could it be considered an illegal order?
0bama’s mooslim outreach
(says a USAF veteran who endured a “lock down” when Jimmy Carter passed through a large DOD installation...SAC HQ)
I endured, and my next CIC was not insane.
I can't speak for all of my peers, but I can speak for a lot of them, past and present.
I absolutely knew there was an extremely high probability that I would die, in defending my country against an enemy attack, or while going on the offense against a designated enemy.
I accepted that probability.
Certain missions and locations were known to be almost suicidal, if the plan was ever activated or the base was attacked.
That was fair.
We knew what was at stake if we failed, and trusted we would not be wasted pawns, in a game we understood was not a game.
Under this administration?
I would have joined a military coup against an anti USA civilian leadership, knowing the probability was high that I would die or be imprisoned for the rest of my life. So we circle back to why my entire wing was on lock down, when Carter passed through... The oath to fight "against all enemies, foreign or domestic" is one that many swear, but few completely understand, untll they are faced with the unthinkable.
I love that video played over and over on the cable news channels now showing a woman who claims she came from Syria scolding McCain on his attack Syria position, at a town hall.
She says ‘Don’t make Syria another Iraq or Afghanistan’
Any day McCain is yelled at is a great day.
The good ones have known it from the start - that so many are risking careers to protest is a sign that the military hasn't yet been subverted to the point it can be used to squash the People. Because of this "bad news" I fully expect some "steps" to be taken and word to be spread about the hazards of dissing the CIC. We just got a recent reminder that if classified is leaked and running around the web where any Tom,-Dick-Harry can see it, those in service of Uncle Sugar can be prosecuted for viewing the "offending material" even on personal computers. I guess we need to constantly clear our history/cache in case we hit a site that has some classified on it and we don't realize it - I'm sure it will be watched for and used to purge the "undesirables".
BTW - I retire while Klintoon was CIC - my signed papers will never grace my den wall...
“Must be a rude awakening to realize their CIC is a total jerk.”
Our sane guys and gals in our military had feelings that Obozo Liar was a jerk.
Now they know for sure.
