That said, this Marine is an idiot for doing what he did. Only in a world of no discipline would one get away with it. I don't know if he was offered a chance to stop what he was doing, as his OIC, I would have recommended it. This kind of discourse is something for over beers at the Club, not for social media.
read an article when this story first came out which pointed out that he had twice been told what he was doing was OK because he had a disclaimer on his site saying that it was not associated with the USMC
No doubt from 'sea lawyers'.
Saying that you will not obey unlawful orders is the height of discipline and good order
That isn't a surprise, attaching that statement when commenting about your CIC is what is problematic. Like it or not, there hasn't been a finding by competent authority thet the current douche in the White House is ineligible. It isn't within the purview of military members to make one. Thankfully, we don't have military coups daily like some African/Central American countries. A Marines' job is to be ready to fight and fight when ordered. Political commentary is a job for retired Marines.
Refusing to confront an illegal foreign enemy combatant in the White HOuse would bring MUCH discredit upon the armed forces, so those refusing to address this are the ones in violation of Article 134.
Hyperbole.
Clearly the officer’s oath can never be kept. The military will always be just as corrupt as the one who leads it. Just a fact of life; better to accept it.
I’m praying that God will let our end come quickly and with relatively little suffering for the innocent. It’s coming; there is no one willing to stop it.
