You can't have an Army if everyone gets to decide which orders to obey

You can't have an Army in a Free Republic, where the officers refuse to follow the oath they are required to take before becoming officers. That oath does not require obeying orders, but it does require supporting and defending the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic.

"against all enemies, foreign and domestic. "

Who is constitutionally authorized to decide if Obama is an enemy?

That oath has nothing to do with soldiers disobeying their officers' orders.
