today's Military is not the one my family members served in.
They have rules, the pos Nobama doesn’t care about them. This corporal did the right thing. When the president tells a corporal to do something that is not unlawful (albeit against regulations) it is wise to follow that order.
One of those rules is to not embarrass the CINC in public.
The article is incorrect. CINC can order Marines to hold umbrellas for him, and for the Turkish PM. The Marines cannot be ordered to hold umbrellas for themselves.
