Myself I would expect the military to have “issues” with following an order from a POTUS that is technically by American Constitutional laws is not even qualified to issue such orders.

A bunch of our boys just recently got killed in Afghanistan after begging for mortar/artillery support which was refused...Orders were followed and our military knowingly let their own die because of Obama's rules of engagement...

I don't know if I'd put too much stock in the military veering away from orders from headquarters...

When did the incident you refer to happen? I don’t remember reading about it?

That's a tricky call. Inaction is always easier than action. It would be VERY easy for a good man (and most of our pilots are good people) and especially against Israeli pilots, to simply let someone get by you instead of shooting them down. I hope that Israel is planning something that can't be stopped by Obama, but I am not convinced that our pilots would do their best when following an evil order.
