He’ll lose but I respect his sacrifice.
If Bush was prez this would lead every network newscast.
He will lose because his status as a conscientious objector has everything to do with his moral, ethical, or religious objection to war, if any, and nothing to do with who the commander in chief is.

It’s a decent strategy, actually.
All BHO has to do is provide a valid COLB, and the Major gets on his plane. Guy’s got a point - if he isn’t President, and he executes orders under his authority without questioning them, then he’s essentially guilty under the same logic that our troops were guilty at Mi Lai. Officers can follow lawful orders. If there’s a question as to whether they are lawful, they don’t have the luxury of shooting first and asking the question later.
Has a pretty good chance of working.
Why will he lose?
Does he not have a case?
