You have sworn the same oath that the pilot of the aircraft you maintain has sworn.
You dont get to decide whether or not to obey a lawfull order, any more than the pilot who drops the MOAB or 500"er or nuke does.
But you are charged with discerning the difference between a lawfull order and something patently unconstitutional.
And if you even think that civilians, even the POTUS, are placing you against the Constitution of the USA, and you follow through on an unlawfull order, I will shoot you myself, and I would have done so as your NCOIC, and I will do so now as a civilian.
If you have not thought about this, best you start thinking about it now.

You act like I have no clue of what to determine whats a lawful order or not. My point is simple, if Pres Bush loses and a democrat takes over, then a whole lot of us in the service will have to be better at distinguishing the orders we follow. Especially, if we got to defend our national interests and Pres Kerry or Dean have to "beg" for permission from the UN.
