[Final Authority]

I read what you say but please explain to me how Dresden, et al, and Tokyo, Nagasaki, and Hiroshima, were leveled by the commander in chief by way of his military officers and soldiers? Has the military changed? Can't the President have such officers who refuse a lawful command be led off in 'cuffs? What is a lawful command? Isn't is proportional to the threat encountered?

Basically, I and most right thinking Americans will probably disagree with you on this. If we can't use our power and might to win a battle then we might as well have Kerry or Clinton in the WH, selling us down the river of whimpdom (appeasement).

What's the lawful order going to be, Final Authority?

If we can't use our power and might to win a battle

And what battle is this?
