The Officer Corps will not try to overthrow the civilian government. They may resign in large numbers and execute their rights and responsibilities as citizens, but while in uniform they will obey lawful orders issued by the President and his civilian leaders.
We didn’t do it when Carter was President and won’t do it now.
Yeah. Keep getting punked in Afghanistan by the stooge employed by the Saudis.
> We didn’t do it when Carter was President and won’t do it now.
Carter was a Naval Officer. Obama is a community organizer.
Big difference.
>but while in uniform they will obey lawful orders issued by the President and his civilian leaders.
And what is the final law, the Supreme Law of the Land?
Why, look at that, it’s that same Constitution the military is sworn to defend! So, ANY contra-constitutional orders ARE illegal; furthermore, the oath includes protecting said Constitution from enemies both foreign AND domestic... where am I leading to with this... a single sentence in the Constitution, important enough to get its own paragraph:
“No Bill of Attainder or ex post facto Law shall be passed.”
With Congress’s actions on the AIG bonuses AND the “Retroactive Immunity Repeal Act” they clearly show their blatant disregard to the Constitution in [at least] that area AND furthermore undermine ALL American Jurisprudence... a clear indication both of assault on the Judicial branch and/or negligence-of-the-highest-order in the Legislative.
Carter was feckless. Obama is fascist.
Carter was — and still is — a bumbling fool but was former military himself and perhaps for that reason got a pass on much of the stupid stuff he did.
Obama is NOT former military (doubt he was even in the Boy Scouts — Young Pioneers maybe) and has dissed and ridiculed the military on a number of occasions. And he has a DEFINITE AGENDA that was harder to see with Carter.
This guy is all about destroying America which is one of the points Perry, a fellow DEMOCRAT, makes in the essay.

Other than comparitive leftist stupidity, Carter never was a totalitarian threat to our liberty, nobama has shown a perpensity to that goal, to which patriotic military would and should respond IMHO.
But what if he is found, by a Federal Court to be ineligible and not the President, but rather a usurper, acting as President?

Carter was a Natural Born Citizen. Miss Lilly was a citizen. So was James Earl Carter Sr, he'd even served in the Army during WW-I.
Barry's baby Daddy was not a citizen, nor even a permanent legal resident. If born in Hawaii, a big IF, he's a citizen, but not a natural born one within the meaning of the term as used in the Constitution.
If they resign in large numbers, Obama could have them tried for mutinty. DIdnt something like this happen back in the 50s, when a group of high ranking naval officers resign or threaten to resign because the goverment cut the budget for new aircraft carriers and gave to money for the USAF new bomber fleet, including the B36 Peacekeeper.
I am just saying that if Obama even senses the military is lacking in faith in him, anything is possible.
