So what? I'm a Navy graduate as well, as was LCDR Charles Swift, the clown who glorified in defending Hamdan. Does that make Chuck "Not Too" Swift someone we should all respect?
When was the last time military (either active or retired) openly accused a sitting President of treason? Yet no action on the serious charge of treason. Crickets.
I dunno. We do know there were some maggots in the military who made some outrageous attacks upon President Bush. But if members of the military wants to exercise their rights citizens to accuse the President of treason, that's their business. But if they feel that they cannot take orders from their chain of command, then the proper thing to do is resign your commission, not politicize your active service and take our military down the road to becoming a pseudo-Praetorian Guard. As to why their charges, which largely amount to disagreements over policy, haven't been investigated as "treason", I have no idea. Probably because they are more policy disagreements than anything else.
And to clarify, I personally believe the President is somebody who sympathizes more with Marxism and the developing Third World than with the U.S., which I think he deeply resents as just another "exploiter." But unfortunately, our fellow citizens elected the bum, and we're going to have to wait on them to get rid of him in 2012. I hope.
I resigned my commission in 1992 because I didn't want to serve under Clinton. That is what you are supposed to do if you have got a problem with the CIC. Politicizing the military -- particularly when, as in this case, it will not do a damn bit of good -- is just doing more harm to a country that already needs all the help it can get.
So far as I know, there has never been another time when multiple members of the military (retired)...let alone one member, has charged a sitting "CinC" with treason. It's unprecedented.
Those guys who charged Barry with treason could be brought up on mutiny charges. Why haven't they? Because Barry (& Holder) can't touch them! Otherwise, they would then (I should say "should") be allowed discovery during their trial.
The military must be assured they have a legal chain of command reaching up to and including the Commander in Chief. As you know, Officers like Lakin swear their oaths to the Constitution, not a person like Barry.
