I don’t consider it a “little matter” as to whether Obama is eligible to be CIC.
OK, then let me rephrase.
Are you suggesting that the members of the military simply refuse to do anything until this GREAT BIG MAHONKIN' matter gets cleared up?
OR perhaps are you more rational than that, and realize that the military still has a job to do, regardless of Obama's status? And in that case ... shouldn't Mr. Coates be following his oath and his orders?
