I used legal references, you just didn’t want to comprehend them, so I chose a movie reference, hoping that would penetrate.

I’m down to Sesame Street here, guy.

“If Burt told Ernie to jump off a bridge, would he?”

If you are ordered to hold a position, and you are pretty sure you are going to die, but you suspect the guy giving the order has no legal authority to issue that order, would you follow it? Legal basis for orders is kind of important.

If you do write software code, please tell me it isn’t for Boeing or NASA.

“Legal basis for orders is kind of important.”

Then he had best give back that paycheck and stop following all those other orders Obama has given.

Once again, for legal basis, he has none. He has no proof whatsoever that Obama has not presented any appropriate proof of natural citizenship to Congress. We all suspect he has not, but there is no proof and by no means can an officer assume he has not then refuse orders.

There is no such thing as all the officers of the military must be satisfied to their personal satisfaction that any new President must be legit else they have the right to refuse that President’s orders.

And again, that Major never received orders directly from Obama. His orders came from a superior officer who has legitimate authority to command that he report.

I guess you’re just more proof that we have seriously lowered our standards for common sense and intelligence for officers.

According to your logic, thousands of left-wing officers who hated Bush and claimed he “stole the election” had the right to walk off the job and refuse his orders?
