Today in a stunning development, the Military rescinded those orders.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of their duty when they believe that an order is given illegitimately, but can expect that their orders will also be rescinded should they question the legitimacy of the CIC who is the ultimate Authority in Command.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.)

Everything you said is true...however, the military has never faced a situation where the President is not constitutionally qualifed to be the Commander in Chief and therefore is issuing legally questionable orders to military personnel in war.

Nasty situation!

I am certain that improper command influence has been exerted at the highest levels. Whatever is done, will be done with the objective of protecting this rotten usurper from being exposed for the counterfeit POTUS that he is.

Well, Z is from the “what if they gave a war and nobody came” generation.
