It wouldn’t take 40,000 troops to make an impact.
There are about 40 brigades in the army. Around 3,500 soldiers per brigade.
A brigade cannot deploy with less than 95% strength and every deployment is close to that number at the time of deployment. (Pregnant females, illness, etc. This is NORMAL.)
If 50-100 people in every brigade refused to go based on this president, it would cripple the entire military.
KEEP IN MIND, we only have half the brigades deployed at any given time.
SO, at a minimum, we’d only need 50 soldiers x 20 brigades (at least 1,000 men) to refuse to go and a real mess would be made.
The military would combat this by pulling people from non-deploying units to fill the empty slots, but if the efforts were organized so that law suits were filed within a couple of days of the unit beginning to deploy, it would turn commanders’ hair gray with a quickness.
The DOD *has* to court martial this guy. If they don’t, many soldiers will gather the courage to follow in his foot-steps. (Trust me, the bulk of the military doesn’t like this guy.) Quite literally, the army will have set the legal precedence to allow soldiers to strike.
Not only that, but precedence will be set to allow solders to come home from a deployment.
Our army could cripple this administration simply by sitting down.
I don’t know what the court martial charge would be.
He did not fail to perform his duty- he only questioned the legality of the order. That is something all military members pledge to do ... carry out only legal orders issued by proper authority.
His request for the CinC to verify himself was respectfully pursued in a court of law, did not impose an unreasonable burden on Obama. Anyone can produce a certified birth cerfificate issued by our state, for about $10.
Before they can court martial the guy, they have to order him to deploy, and he has to refuse the order. If they instead withdraw the deployment order (no doubt following the Chief's order), then they can't court martial him. And it will get very interesting if he starts a trend.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
He didn’t strike. He wasn’t given the opportunity. And...He **plainly** stated that he was very willing to obey and would obey any lawful order.
He asked for clarification of his orders to assure that they were lawful. It is his duty before God to only obey **lawful** orders and to also question and clarify any that he believes may possibly be unlawful.
On what possible issue could he face court martial?
Obama is crippling our army. Let's get this straight.
No soldier should follow any usurper over a cliff. It is a simple matter for Obama to verify his natural born citizenship. He should do so immediately!
But if they do, then he, or his legal team, get the right of "Discovery". IOW, then can suppoena BHO's birth certificate, college admissions records, and even passport file.
Ain't gonna happen. Remember BHO doesn't care if are forced to pull out of Afghanistan, Iraq, or Pakistan, in fact he'd love it.
