If this person’s son doesn’t take those kinds of orders he will be court-martialed.
Just like Lt Col Lakin.
The people deciding the lawfulness of the orders Lakin disobeyed refused to include the Constitutionality of the orders as one of the elements of lawfulness, even though that criteria is specifically mentioned in Article 92 of the UCMJ.
That means that if this person’s son disobeys an order he can scream all he wants about the unlawfulness (unconstitutionality0 of the order, but RIGHT NOW, as we speak, the precedent is being set to totally remove the actual elements of Article 92 which define Constitutionality as one criteria for lawful orders.
Those who have tee-hee’ed the “birther” issue are shooting themselves - and their military sons and daughters - in a much more serious place than just their foot.
Firing on our own citizens was stated to be considered an illegal order.
Then there are also laws against such actions...
Sorry not going to believe it, and why are you? Do you really think OUR soldiers would willingly shoot us? No, rebellion would surely be the only outcome. Would you shoot your aunt or neighbor because the GOVERNMENT told you to? Court Martial or not, Nobody will do this.
