“Any commissioned officer who uses contemptuous words against the President”

These are not “Contemptuous words”, they are the words of a soldier asking for LAWFUL CLARIFICATION of the orders he is following.

Your assuming that Bozo is actually the President. This officer is saying he doesn't believe he is and wants proof before he obeys any of his orders, and he didn't use contemptuous words against the President. He merely says he wants proof. It is his right to demand proof that the orders he is required to obey are legitimate. The army may not see it that way but if enough officers get behind him something will have to be done and that something is for Bozo to show his vault copy.

There is nothing wrong with asking this employee of the people, and that is all he is, to show if he is eligible to hold the office he was elected too. We are his boss, not the other way around. For him to hire lawyers to obfuscate and refuse to show tells me one thing: Bozo isn't a natural born citizen.

Ledt me get this straight. A commissioned officer in the US military is refusing to follow orders in a combat zone for political reasons and the populous of FR is cheering. Now I have seen everything. The precedent that this is setting is the end of the republic.

Isn’t desertion during time of war punishable by death?
