“Also, I am not sure if the Commander in Chief could ever be disobeyed. I suppose not.”

If given an illegal order, then of course, they are required to refuse such an order.

“Because if the top order to stand down came from ANYONE other than the CinC, how could it be obeyed in this situation with what was clearly known (from the drones etc)?”

The guys on the line have no such discretion and insight as to where the stand down order came from.

Military mutiny is what we are talking about and that is a dangerous idea. . .

Cheers

The US military cannot cross borders without first notifying and getting permission from President or State.

I thought Everyone knows that getting forgiveness is MUCH easier than getting permission!

After all; at this date; what difference does it make?

Thanks. I appreciate your answering my kind of dumb questions. I really would want to learn the truth about who did give that stand down order. And would it have been illegal? Or just a “bad call” if given by a real commander.

>This doesn’t bother democrats. I heard one democrat say,
“If there was more to this story don’t you think the media would report it? They make money from stories like this. “

Then, quietly, point them to the Iran Deal ‘surprise’.

The old USSR didn’t have as good as the Left here. Free Press....Y-E-A-H

Never forget her Filthiness used the flag draped coffins of our heroes as stage props to pitch a lie to the world. Such an act is beyond redemption.
