What makes you so certain Obama wouldn’t have a commercial airplane shot down in another country’s sovereign airspace?

I trust the men and women in the cockpits of our fighter aircraft that would adjudge it to be an illegal, unwarranted and unconstitutional order from the Commander, and in adherence to both our US Constitution which supercedes, and standard international laws and protocols, would refuse the order and return to base to face the consequences. I do believe there are still those in our US military who put the US Constitution over and above Obongo and his stupid orders and would never accept an order to shoot down a fully loaded civilian commercial airliner in international airspace. Elements of the US military might also be in support of this. We would probably have a split in our government if it came to that and an attempted or successful coup d’etat as such a command being the last straw.
