Her first duty was to obey the order. She could file a complaint later.
I went through BCT not long after the My Lai "Massacre".Perhaps as a result of that incident we had a class in which the Lieutenant told us that no soldier has a duty to obey an "unlawful order" (his exact words).IIRC he gave at least a few general examples of what would constitute an "unlawful order".
Apart from ordering subordinates to murder unarmed,harmless civilians it's hard to imagine an order that's less lawful than the one in question.
She should have “just obeyed orders” like all the Chiefs of Staff have done, this whole time that the foreign enemy combatant in chief has been giving the nation and world over to the Islamist buddies who put him into office.
Ya know, kinda like everybody did under Adolf Hitler...
Lt. Col Terry Lakin went through all the proper procedures and got NOTHING in response, from the military chain of command and from the US Congress. And though that’s been known, nobody has done a stinkin’ thing to correct and/or rebuke the failure in the chain of command and Congress.
The whole stinkin’ system is compromised. It is under the Beast.
“Her first duty was to obey the order.”
It depends entirely on what the order is. She was not engaged in a combat zone and that order countermanded centuries of hallowed tradition. Screw the punk who issued the order.
