The libs have a long history being wilfully ignorant regarding military affairs. Not only does Lakin, as an officer, have the right to question the "lawful" nature of his orders, he also has the responsibility and duty to do so. An enlisted man swears an oath to obey his superiors up to and including that of the President. Officers swear an oath to faithfully uphold the tenets of the Constitution itself. Without this balance in power, the military becomes nothing more than a tool of the executive branch of government. The libs should understand how dangerous that scenario would be ... but like I say, they are wilfully ignorant when it suits them. Lakin is a true patriot that understands his oath. Hopefully his courage will spark a fire among his peers.

The de facto Commander-in-Chief (the head leftist) doesn’t know what a squad is, can’t pronounce “corpsman” and probably didn’t register for Selective Service.

And at his court martial he will have a chance to show why the order of his brigade commander wasn't lawful. How's he going to do that?
