In this instance I agree. So what happens when a future president issues a command in an imminent danger scenario, and a Lefty General faces him down over it?

IMO, that general should be brought up on charges. It’s a tough call here, because it sets up the Left to be able to refuse action too, although we won’t agree with the reasons.

There is no imminent threat here. The U. S. isn’t under attack or the threat of one. That’s why I totally disagree with action. And if a General were to disagree, I would rather see them resign than set a precedent where some active duty general could refuse the CIC on political grounds.

That’s fine if your a general, but most in the military are enlisted and can not resign. They also took an oath to defend the constitution. Even for officers, resigning isn’t a sure resolution.

Don’t you think the rank and file know that Obama is on the side of the enemy? I would submit that most do...
