It’s not a strawman. Obama is in dereliction of his Constitutional duty to protect the US. He is making decisions for purely domestic political reasons that are getting American servicemembers killed and that are endangering this nation. McCrystal is doing his duty by speaking up.
I respect our servicemembers and their williness to sacrifice life and career to do their Constitutional duty. Kind of shocked that you don’t share that view.
I’m sorry, I thought you were making an argument that if Obama ever did anything openly against the consitution or Americans the military would stand idly by in the name of “doing what we’re told.”
McChrystal’s opinions may be true and need to be said but he went about it the wrong way (and I’m pretty sure it was heresay from aides and not him in the article). I didn’t vote for Obama and I will vote against him in 2012. I will not, however, speak out against him while I have the uniform on and am representing the military.
