My son, and all under arms, are sworn to defend the constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.

He swears to obey the orders of the officers appointed over him.

IF this president orders US troops to Honduras — which won’t happen, but, if it did — my son’s duty is to go to Honduras.

Until out of office, this president is the president, and no one has presented evidence that he is not the president. They have ONLY at this point presented evidence that he has not been forthcoming with a birth certificate. (And he hasn’t been.)

All of this hypothetical situationing doesn’t change the fact that those troops depend on each other for their lives, and anyone who takes into their own hands their deploying or not deploying also is responsible for deaths resulting from an undermanned military unit.

Missing deployment is being AWOL.

Obama's loyalty is not to the United States of America. If he doesn't do something like invade Honduras, he's going to do something worse in the next 3 years. If I were in the service and I could find a way out before I was asked to fight on the side of Communism or some other totalitarian regime.

Look at Obama's closest friends. Van Jones, an admitted communist who worked to fight against the United States. Bill Ayers, a terrorist and his wife, Bernadette Dorn, another terrorist. Jeremiah Wright, a black supremacist and separatist who hates America. Obama BOWED to King Saud. Obama hugged and embraced Hugo Chavez, another fellow America hater. Look at his wife, Michelle who said she had NEVER been proud to be an American until her husband was nominated for the presidency. Look at his first speech as president, a speech apologizing to the Muslims who took down the twin towers for the evils of America. Look at his speech in Germany where he called out to "Fellow citizens of the World".

Now Obama is calling for the reinstatement of Manuel Zelaya, a man who by the provisions of the Honduran Constitution would be out of office in the next month and a half, yet he is calling for his reinstatement and refusing to recognize the legitimate constitutional government of Honduras that exiled him for crimes against the Constitutions. I do not trust Obama. The man is leading a country he hates. He is charged with upholding a Constitution that he hates and has no loyalty to. And he has to power to send our military anywhere in the world to do whatever the hell he wants without anyone's prior approval, and even if he needed the approval of congress to invade Honduras or Israel or any other friend of America, who is going to stop him?

It is true that our military should honor their commitment to the Afgan war, but then again, what if suddenly the mission turned to protecting the Taliban rather than killing them? Then what?
