It still boggles the mind how folks can imagine that wanting the military to take extra-Constitutional action because they don’t agree with the decisions the civilian government made is somehow a patriotic defense of the Constitution.
Has it occurred to you that no matter what the civilian government does, there will be some group somewhere that doesn’t like it and doesn’t think it is right, proper, or Constitutional?
Do want the military to step in for them too?
What about those who think the military taking those actions are unconstitutional? What redress to you propose for them?
The military has a code of honor and each member has sworn to uphold the constitution. Since a few have stood up to challenge the legitimacy of the CIC in prosecuting a war and deploying troops, the reasonable resoonse would be to impose whatever discipline is called for and for the CIC to present information to put to lie the challenge. To date he has not had to establish that he has constitutionally qualified.
As a sidenote, neither has he opened school and other records as requested by many of the citizens and which many of us think we are entitled to know.
Just for shits and giggles, let's assume that the VP killed the president in the oval office, but had the support of the secret service and key party members. Since nothing was being done about it, should the military just carry out their business and say attack Canada as ordered by the new president? Extreme example, but I pose the question at what point does the military think or even have a responsibility to act?
