How do you get that I said the army should run the country? I said McA was right and we should have bombed(with nukes)the North Korean army, won the war and put a stop to communist expansion in the east. Vietnam was fought precisely because our weak kneed CIC(Truman)would not fight to win the Korean "Police Action". Time has proven McA was correct. Civilians should run the country, Military Officers should run the wars. That's what I am saying. Bozo's orders are not legal if they are not designed to win the War against terror. He is sworn to protect and defend this country and the constitution. He is not doing so, therefore his actions are illegal.

An officer swears an oath to the constitution not the President. Americans don't recognize omnipotent leaders, we recognize the rule of law.

Because you said that you thought General MacArthur "should have gone ahead and bombed the crap out of North Korea" with nuclear weapons, in violation of the express orders of President Truman. If the Army can violate the orders of the elected President -- particularly with regard to the use of nuclear weapons -- then I don't know what you have, but it's certainly not any kind of Republic.

Civilians should run the country, Military Officers should run the wars

I don't disagree with that. But when you get a conflict between the two, the civie is always in charge. That always has to be the case, even when the civilian is wrong, or else you have chaos.

That's wrong no matter how many times you repeat it. Every officer has sworn to obey all lawful orders by the President.
