"Any commissioned officer..."

Sergeant Stein is a noncommissioned officer. A court-martial would not apply.

Any commissioned officer ....


Since when did a Sergeant become a Commissioned Officer?

A Sergeant is a non-commissioned officer, so this paragraph does not apply.

I believe the military is discharging him rather than face the sticky situation that may show 0bama is not qualified for the office he usurps, and therefore has been issuing unlawful orders. In other words, the rear echelon is doing what they always do - taking the easy way out.

A sergeant is not a commissioned officer. He is explicitly a non-commissioned officer.
