“VoteVets.org is organized as a non-partisan political action committee (PAC) and non-profit 501(c)(4) status in the United States.[1][2][3][4][5] It was co-founded in 2006 by Jon Soltz and Jeremy Broussard.

Although organized as nonpartisan, it has been described as “partisan”, “closely aligned with Congressional Democrats,” and “liberal” in news stories.[8][9][10] In a June 2011 press release, the organization specifically identified itself as the “largest progressive group of veterans in America.”[11]”

Coming from a military guy that understood the seniority of the military (with the President as the commander in chief) I can see his viewpoint.

I’m not a legal expert, but the Senate is not under that same framework.

" I do believe they defied the chain of command in what could be construed as an illegal act. "

F him. The Senate is not in his precious "chain of command".

Everyone around here knows the rest...

“I would use the word mutinous,”

Really?

Does this general really think that Preezy is the captain and Congress is his crew?

How stupid can a General be? Now we know. Rather than a co equal branch of government Congress is now somewhere in the CofC. Good Lord.

Hey, General Eaton. You take orders from us. We don’t take orders from you. Now go back to feeding at the public trough.

I do believe they defied the chain of command in what could be construed as an illegal act.” Eaton certainly had stern words for Cotton.

I would be interested to see how he draws up the chain of command for the United States. Does he think the legislature is subordinate to the president?

You can’t commit mutiny when you don’t report to the idiots in charge.

“Major General Paul D. Eaton is a retired United States Army General most known for his command of operations to train Iraqi troops during Operation Iraqi Freedom.”

These are, of course, the Iraqi troops that strangled ISIS in its cradle, thereby helping to create the safe and modern Iraq some have dubbed the South Korea of the Middle East. Mission accomplished, indeed.

>>“I do not believe these senators were trying to sell out America. I do believe they defied the chain of command in what could be construed as an illegal act.” <<

Yet another ignoramus who thinks that Congress REPORTS to POTUS.

Sounds like the Maj Gen is trying to apply military standards to the Senators:

“... they defied the chain of command ...”

“... a gross breach of discipline ...”

Article author Capehart is stretching, trying to find someone to verbally assault Senator Cotton for ‘the letter’.

Where was Major Gen. Paul D. Eaton when John Kerry did this?

American Patriots Against John Kerry

The 1970 meeting that John Kerry conducted with North Vietnamese communists violated U.S. law, according to an author and researcher who has studied the issue.

Kerry met with representatives from “both delegations” of the Vietnamese (North Vietnamese and Viet Cong) in Paris in 1970, according to Kerry’s own testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on April 22, 1971. But Kerry’s meetings with the Vietnamese delegations were in direct violation of laws forbidding private citizens from negotiating with foreign powers, according to researcher and author Jerry Corsi, who began studying the anti-war movement in the early 1970s.

According to Corsi, Kerry violated U.S. code 18 U.S.C. 953. “A U.S. citizen cannot go abroad and negotiate with a foreign power,” Corsi told CNSNews.com.

By Kerry’s own admission, he met in 1970 with delegations from the North Vietnamese communist government and discussed how the Vietnam Warshould be stopped.

{{{crickets chirping}}} There is no statute of limitations on treason, Gen., so it's not to late to say something.

The good Ret Major General is associated with the “National Security Network” a rather biased source indeed. From their website.

“NSN concentrates on bridging the gaps in thought and action between both policy experts and policy makers, and Washington politics and the American public. NSN challenges misguided and overly-militarized conservative approaches to foreign policy through...”
..”.Building and Strengthening a progressive national security network: NSN offers sharp policy analysis, builds bridges, and distributes resources to help progressives – from Capitol Hill and national advocacy campaigns to local community groups – turn shared principles into smart, savvy national security postures.”

Eaton is a leftist activist. Just another Zero apologist.
