I took the Officer's oath many years ago.
I know you know the difference between the Oath of Office and the Oath of Enlistment.
I do.
Yet you feign ignorance and take a poke at castlegreyskull using the "superior officer" argument from the Oath of Enlistment when you know Lt. Col. Lakin is an officer. Why would you do that?
Because it is a valid question. Lakin is charged with disobeying the orders of three superior officers, missing movement, and conduct unbecoming of an officer. How can you reconcile such conduct with the oath he took as an officer?
Thankyou very much. I actually resign my commission in May, and was Honorably discharged from Navy. I am quite offended by Non-Sequitur’s attempt deceit when making his argument. When, I write my posts on here, I make every attempt at at least being honest.
The original order to deploy to Afghanistan is not lawful since Obama hold the office illegally. Obama legitimacy and authority comes from the US Constitution which Obama lacks. The chain-of-command repeats that same order down the ranks. Lakin has sworn to protect the Constitution and not an occupier of presidential office.
Why would he or she do that? I suggest the name Non-Sequitur was chosen for a reason.
Non sequitur (Latin for “it does not follow”), in formal logic, is an argument in which its conclusion does not follow from its premises.[1] In a non sequitur, the conclusion can be either true or false, but the argument is fallacious because there is a disconnection between the premise and the conclusion. All formal fallacies are special cases of non sequitur. The term has special applicability in law, having a formal legal definition. Many types of known non sequitur argument forms have been classified into many different types of logical fallacies.
The term is often used in everyday speech and reasoning to describe a statement in which premise and conclusion are totally unrelated but which is used as if they were. An example might be: “If I buy this cell phone, all people will love me.” However, there is no direct relation between buying a cell phone and the love of all people. This kind of reasoning is often used in advertising to trigger an emotional purchase.
