“”If there is a way to arrest the bastard legally they should DO IT!......even if it costs a few of them their job!””

They have to settle on which is more important - their job or their country!! Their pensions or their country? What good is the pension when our country is gone?

Yes!

But, there was a day when an oath meant something! And a pension was subordinated to the oath!

One “General” that comes to mind, and who’s story is an inverse analogy, was Robert E. Lee. When the Civil War started, he discovered he was in the wrong Army and the wrong country! The easy way out for him was to just remain in the Union Army and take up arms against his friends and neighbors and relatives. But, guided by his conscience, he made the awesome decision to disavow his oath to the Union Army and the USA and accept a commission and take an oath in the CSA.

So, where’s the analogy some freeper will argue? The analogy is that Lee WAS ABLE at CRUNCH TIME to tell the Union Army I cannot support what you are doing and I hereby resign!

The only US Soldier to do that in the Obama age as far as I know was Dr. (Colonel) Terry Lakin. Everybody else is worried about their pensions as the USA is in it’s death throes due to no leadership.

There is just as much, if not more, at stake today as there was for Lee at the beginning of the Civil War.
