Well we’ll see who’s proved right in the end; professionally trained military lawyers or Google trained military lawyer wannabes. I’m betting on the professionals.

You may certainly side with those Sophists whose job it is to argue for the OFFICE of the President of the United States (but not necessarily the man sitting there).

However, I'm betting on the Constitution and an active majority of the American public who can still see through Obama's LIES and disinformation.

Yes, the JAG will undoubted attempt to represent the Army's interests and protect the "OFFICE of the President of the United States."

But the fact is that — JUST LIKE YOU Non-Sequitur — the Army will also have a difficult time arguing your position separating Lt Col Lakin's deployment orders and his CinC’s Military Directives ... the SAME CinC that Lt Col Lakin’s attorneys will argue is de facto.

For example, when 2d Lt Henry Howe appealed his charges against the President in 1965, the Army Board of Review recognized the disciplinary domino theory in the military the Chain of Command. The Board's findings naturally concluded that since Effectiveness of the Army depends on Discipline, and Discipline involves Obedience and Respect towards one’s superiors, it is naturally assumed that the Discipline, Obedience and COMMAND AUTHORITY is directly connected to a soldier's ultimate superior, the Commander-in-Chief:

His relationship as an officer to the President, the highest source of military command authority, in this regard is significantly the same as his relationship to his superior officer - in both instances, respect is required and demanded.

Again, this is both cultural norm and codified reality, published over and over DoD black and white.


Non-Sequitur, we know that you and the other Obama defenders here don't like it.

We know that it must pain you — on a DEEPLY personal level — that it is NOT Lt Col Lakin ordering himself to deploy, nor is it his Commanding Officer, General Casey, or even Secretary Gates that is deploying our Armed Forces to CAPTURE and KILL Islamic militants in Iraq and Afghanistan ...

It is BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA who would be defined on any orders starting with the phrase “By order of the President of the United States”.

These are Obama’s wars against the Muslims. He delayed those deployment order for months last Fall, but now the Army is pushing forward with those deployment directives from the CinC ... AS ORDERED.

That's how we here can firmly assert that your "pretty much" "opinion" is as worthless as a promise from Obama himself ... and the validity of any military orders he may pass down to officers and enlisted alike.
