This is from another thread on same topic:

I think what happened at the Battle of the Bulge is instructive here. Nazi soldiers educated in America were dressed as American officers and proceeded to give perfidious orders to Allied soldiers (in addition to murdering them when the opportunity arised).

Those who disobeyed their orders did so because they were either warned to do so or they were able to expose the imposters by asking them questions that any loyal American would know. The situation we face is really no different in that we have an imposter as Commander-in-Chief.

I think that you will find plenty of other examples where subordinates determined as a group that their superior was not authorized to issue an order, or that issued an order countermanding the order of a higher-ranking officer, or was not in a sane frame of mind.

There is a reason why it takes TWO KEYS to launch a nuke, and in the scenarios I just described illustrate the reason for that.

The soldier involved will be courtmartialed and kicked out of the service...or end up in Leavenworth-no question. Your comparison to German spies (not in German uniform thus spies) during the battle of the bulge is ridiculous. Personally, I think Taitz has crossed the line here and should be prosecuted. We are at war...perhaps sedition would be a reasonable charge. Leave the military out of this. They deserve better than to be used by these for profit lawyers (yes they are raking in donations).

Orly most certainly should not have used the military...I used to find her interesting, now I despise her for the traitor she is...
