I’d love to see 5000 troops refuse orders on the same basis as Ltc. Lakin.

In this economy, troops who refuse to obey orders will easily be replaced by troops who won't.

Shall we slowly hand our military over to the Left as we did academia 40+ years ago?

Regarding Lt. Col. (and doctor) Lakin - just last night (I believe) Anderson Cooper had him and his lawyer on and got extremely antagonistic with them. I then decided to look for a couple of clips. Below is a good one - you can then just follow more from there. Also a retired Naval commander Walter Fitzgerald who’s pursuing the same issue (and being vilified for it).

I confess that, for what Obama is doing to Lakin, I would love to see that too by way of retribution. Still ... the oath of enlistment requires enlisted personnel to obey the orders of their commanders up to and including the President. The oath of office, however, require -- more importantly -- strict adherence to the Constitution. I'd love to see 5000 military officers refuse orders on the same basis. Now that would be a celebration -- completely legal -- and demanded by oath.
