Saw this before. It is getting real interesting out there.

The sad thing is the guy who has to replace him in deployment.

It will be interesting to see how many times this rescission is repeated for others with deployment orders before something gives. This chess game keeps getting more and more interesting.

Bump this.

Today in a stunning development, the Military rescinded those orders. This has set a precedent heretofore unknown. The entire US Military can now not only question it's orders, a requirement of their duty when they believe that an order is given illegitimately, but can expect that their orders will also be rescinded should they question the legitimacy of the CIC who is the ultimate Authority in Command. In other words, Obama.

Thinking back to when I learned the UCMJ (in the 60s) disobeying deployment orders was huge, and dissing the CIC was huger.

One suspects a surreptitious nod from the (alleged) CIC via backwater pentagon channels; but, who knows?

My worry here is that it's a horrible idea for the members of the military to get into a potty contest with the administration.

We do not need a big rift between the members of the Armed Forces and the president. He hates the military anyway, why give him (and and BFF Bill Ayers) reasons to settle more scores against our precious men and women in uniform?

Military peeps are known for their tact and diplomacy (and political neutrality.)

And, it's in our best interests to maintain it (as frustrating as it surely is.)

Time to send copies of “Seven Days in May” to each of the Joint Chiefs, Generals, Admirals and Colonels in the military and suggest that they could have “Seven Days in August” .... only do it better than in the movie or book.
