Well, his patriotic duty is do follow his orders.

Period.

What this soldier “feels” stopped being important the day he took his oath.

I, (NAME), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States and the State of (STATE NAME) against all enemies, foreign and domestic;

One could assume he is taking his oath literally!!! Domestic enemies......... Obama is just one.

They hung Hitler’s Generals for just “following orders”.

So you don’t think the oath means anything. That having sworn to defend this country and the constitution from enemies foreign and domestic, he should just forget that oath.

If he were ordered to kill you, because you had a gun and the government had banned them, should he obey that order?

Just wondering at what point you think principle and individual integrity trump “orders.” Every German soldier that help put Jews into gas chambers or shallow graves before being shot was just following orders.

I respectfully disagree. HIS DUTY is to support and defend the constitution. That is what is in an Officer’s oath, and he is taking it literally. He is NOT attempting to evade duty, he is attempting to expose what he considers to be a fraud. Is he right? I don’t know. However, if President Obama would simply release the BC, and there were no impediments....then this all goes away. Why doesn’t the POTUS just do that?
