I get that, however; the average retired officer - would conclude Obama is guilty of treason and these men/retired officers are doing what I/we would expect them to. Special Ops Speaks is full of retired Officers and they say the same. The CIC is engaged in treason.
Many things like age, health, etc,
Need to round alot of them up
Then kindly cite one example where a retired military officer has been returned to active duty in order to be court-martialed for violation of UCMJ Article 88. There’s only one I could find and it was dropped pdq because the politicians didn’t want to give the individual involved a larger platform.
You’re also confusing ‘contempt’ with ‘personally contemptuous’, which is a requirement for prosecution under the UCMJ. It’s never been defined either.
As I said, it’s rarely enforced. But, do you really think it’s beyond the current POTUS to go for it, given his record? He has little to lose. And remember, as CIC he has complete discretion in UCMJ enforcement. Narcissists don’t take criticism well. I don’t rule out anything in his final year. Katy bar the door.
The problem is Obama “has no heart. He is a loser. I think he’s a coward, and he does not want to engage.”
Sounds about right.
Is this man an indication of an early sign of military disaffection?
I retired in 2013 from the military. Believe me there is a large amount of military personnel that are very dissatisfied with Obama. But how many of those are willing to engage in open opposition of the administration I couldn’t say for sure. One big problem is that there is a large portion of the military (younger crowd) that joined purely for the benefits and those are the ones we all need to worry about. They are clueless and will follow orders because they are afraid of losing what they’ve got. I told all my Soldiers that their oath is to the Constitution NOT the President and if they are ever given an order that contradicts the Constitution they are to refuse to follow it.
You mean like the Sunni tribes and militias who fought us, then fought with us in the Surge, and many of whom have now joined with ISIS?
Only those officers who are receiving pensions and other benefits. Give those up and military justice can’t touch you more than any other citizen.
Course that’s a pretty big chunk of benefits to give up.
The next election will tell the tale.
If another communist is elected there will be revolt in the ranks.
