“With respect for your opinion sir/ma’am, that is a cop out answer. It is akin to punishing a loyal son in the family because the father has a drinking problem. It is also an insult to our men and women who serve in the military, and have endured back to back deployments in the last many years while Americans watched Bravo TV and went to the mall.”
It’s no cop out its a very real problem I hope none of us live to witness. That military lives and breaths at the mercy of Obama who has more than enough means at his disposal to do what ever unlawful thing he wishes with it.
I too would love to believe men who do heroic things only do them for good & honorable causes, but that is not the reality of the world and even where it is the reality of all the men the Army(which you know its not) there is almost no room in the U.S. military for insubordination to even unlawful & unjust authority.
We have seen such orders followed and even Justified a thousand times in a thousand different ways. The truth is solder are intentionally put into a position & command structure that is designed to make them subordinate to who ever happens to be declared commander.
If a solder refuses he is himself imprisoned and just as quickly replaced, and it doesn’t much matter the rank of that solders is. Generals are canned & replaced as easily as grunts. There is demonstratively no room in the U.S. military for refusing an order even an unlawful one.
So what makes you think we are safe when theses men are commanded by a tyrant determined to impose his will upon us?
The best we can hope for if that day ever comes is that a great majority of them would find ways to resist & resign at the risk of their own life & liberty. But such resistance would absolutely require an organization(government) to which to follow.
I suggest you lock yourself in a room with a pistol and a can of beans, and hope for the best.
