The Constitution.

ROTFLMAO!!!!!

You start with an illegal POTUS (like LTC believes) giving an order to stay in, or increase deployment to the war in Afghanistan, there can be no legal order from the Sec Def. and therefore there can be no legal order from his C.O. to deploy.

Last I checked your opinion doesn't have the force of law.

It's amazing how these people believe the military is designed with some kind of auto-destruct button if any doubts arise as to the President's qualifications: NO ONE CAN ORDER ANYONE TO DO ANYTHING!!

LOL. They really believe that the people who design legal structures are that stupid. It's mind-boggling.

LMAOROTFLMAO. Last I checked, your opinion is worthless!

b.t.w according you your non-sensical opinion...if a Constitutionally legal President gave an illegal order to his/her Sec. Def. who passed that illegal order on down the chain of command, and some C.O. continued to pass that illegal order to some other LTC who did follow that illegal order (that originated from a legal POTUS)...you would say the LTC was simply following legal orders because their direct order came from their C.O. and not directly from the legal POTUS who gave an illegal order which was subsequently pushed on down the line. Yeah, brilliant there. Real brilliant. LMAO!
