“The military leaders do not “know” Obama isn’t a NBC because there has been no proof of that offered - just Internet accusations. Folks don’t get to disobey orders based on speculation supported by rumor. Orders are assumed to be legal in the absence of any evidence to the contrary.”
Seeing how he didn’t “know” his orders were legal, he had an obligation not to follow them, until he was sure his orders were legal. As for him saying he knew his orders were legal, he only said that at sentencing, once he was in “save his ass” mode. I was disappointed in him for that, but I can’t say I completely blame him either.
Folks can disregard any order they want, if they don’t feel that it’s legal. EVERY order a soldier receives is a judgement call, since we don’t have robotic forces yet.
One last comment, it shouldn’t be up to the military to find out if Obama is legal, it should have been done by the democratic leadership during the election, but since it wasn’t, other measures had/have to be taken. It’s sad, but that’s the way it is.
And...We don't know what threats were coming against him and his family from the private sector, either.
By the way....I wouldn't be surprised to learn that the disappearance of Michele Malkin’s cousin and the shooting of Quales ( the day before he was to give testimony) were ordered by political operatives.
That kind of thinking will get someone a free trip to Leavenworth. Ask a military lawyer.
