I’m on the way out the door but very quickly I’m gonna get psychological. (And you thought I already WAS psycho. lol)
A woman stays in an abusive relationship because even before she was able to think rationally she had instilled in her a belief that she would be a bad person if she fought back. Even when she can rationally see that it’s hurting everybody for her to be walked all over, she has to do it because her conscience would make her feel terrible if she gave up her victimhood. Her feelings have been conditioned into her; they are not rational.
We are constantly being conditioned to believe that people who resist are tinfoil hat wearers. For heaven’s sake, Janet Napolitano issued counsel to all law enforcement that the Founding Fathers themselves must be watched as potential terrorists because they believed in limited government!
The military is based on obedience. You do what you’re told. It just feels wrong to not do what you’re told. I bet you could talk to the guy who reported Abu Ghraib and he had to fight everything in his gut in order to report that.
Lt Col Lakin is a gut check. If you recoil against what Lt Col Lakin has done, then it’s almost certain that you will recoil against your own thoughts of disobeying lawful orders. The question then becomes whether the feelings carry the day, or the commitment carries the day.
The enemies of America know all about psy-ops. That’s what they’ve been doing for the last 50+ years. Ayers and Co believed that there would be 25 million people out of all America - 10% - that he could not “re-educate”. Only one in ten would be able to follow principle and go against their own feelings or Communist-conditioned conscience.
That’s what we’re really up against. An illegal usurper as CIC can’t control the military by physical might. The only way he can do it is by MIND control - by so conditioning the military people towards unquestioning obedience that they would not resist because their CONSCIENCE is so seared it wouldn’t allow them to resist.
As I said, it is clear that the military leadership and justice system is saying that THE LEGALITY OF THE ORDERS CANNOT BE QUESTIONED. You tell me whether that is a move toward preserving the non-political nature of the military, or whether it is a move toward conditioning the military to obey even illegal orders (which can never be questioned anyway).
You are overanalyzing things. The military hates these people and that is all you need to understand.
