Congress is not in the Presidential chain of command. It is separate and equal of power in our government as the President. In suppose this idiot would consider impeachment mutiny as well.
Fellow Travelers in the ranks now that Obama has culled the patriots.
The press doesn’t have to look hard to find someone to say anything about anyone that fits their narrative agenda.
Chain of command? Last I looked the House and Senate are not oart of the Armed Forces and as such, they have no CIC.
Eaton, your boss is not their boss a fact very few seem to remember.
This letter has gotten under their skin, big time.
So look for the TV media to latch on to this fresh-faced retired loser.
When we see him on PMSNBC and CNN as a military anal-yist, we'll know he fills their criteria for an out-of-work, leftist, girley, dopey "expert".

The US Senate is not in the "chain of command" of the executive branch. The US Congress is a separate and equal branch of government.
The general is in the chain of command to the executive branch.
“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.”
Congress is not in a chain of command under the president.
This guy was an Army general? If so, we are far worse off than I thought, because a senior commander who thinks Congress is in the military chain-of-command, subordinate to the president, is an ignoramus.
I might add if Eaton’s point of view is shared by a majority of the top brass, we are in more trouble as a nation than we realize.
What if Obama or any President gave an order to take control of a “ mutiny” on Capitol Hill? What’s to stop them?
At which point, it will be too late. Boehner and McConnell could have stopped it. We all know how that turned out. They handed control of Congress to the Executive Branch.
Perhaps this star studded dolt does not know this but the legislative branch is not in the chain of command of his imperious leadership. Well, perhaps there are some in a chain of sorts with Bath house Barry but not the chain of command the general envisioned in making this outrageous comment.

After retiring from the Army in 2006 Eaton was a frequent guest on various media outlets, where he often criticized the Bush administration’s prosecution of the Iraq War. In 2007, Eaton appeared in a political ad for VoteVets.org, similar to the ones prepared by John Batiste. [1] Eaton asserted that President Bush did not heed the advice given by his military commanders.[citation needed] Eaton appeared on Bill Maher’s talkshow and spoke out strongly against those who launched the Iraq war. In 2008 Eaton served as an advisor to Senator Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign. Following Clinton’s concession of the Democratic primary, Eaton has made several appearances in support of Senator Barack Obama’s presidential campaign.
First of all, any general currently remaining in the Armed Forces after the Stalin-level purges that have gone on is by definition an 0bama bootlicker and I use that term in place of several others I can think of.
Secondly, anyone who has some doubts about what a complete lying SOB traitor John Kerry is should listen to the first 15 minutes of Mark Levin’s show.
So stunning the Dems have done similar stuff in the past 54 times. LOL!
But it was ok for Pelosi to go behind President Bush’s back and pay a visit to Syrian President. And didn’t John Kerry do the same thing?
actually, the man is an ass licker
“....Eaton, whose long career includes training Iraqi forces from 2003 to 2004.”
Yep, a real success story there....saw those trained troops .... maybe he taught them the art of “throwing down their weapons and fleeing”
Appears to me this “General” hasn’t a clue what his oath was about.
“Mutiny - revolt or rebellion against constituted authority”
The general doesn’t understand the chain of command. Obama is not Senator Cotton’s commanding officer; Cotton belongs to another organization which is co-equal to Obama.
