Is that what you would have said when the enlisted in a squadron I was in refused to deploy because GWB wasn’t properly elected President, and therefor didn’t have the right to order them into combat?
Did officers have a right and duty to refuse orders starting 20 Jan 2001 because GWB didn’t REALLY win Florida, but instead was imposed on the USA by a cabal of unelected justices voted him in 7-2?
