These are military pilots. They took an oath to follow all lawful orders given by lawful superiors.
Further, the military is under total control of the US civilian government.
Whether or not you "think" or are of the opinion that the orders given these pilots were "unlawful" makes no difference.
But...in order to vent your spleen, may I suggest you replace the current crop of civilians in control with other civilians more to your liking.
In that manner, the orders given to the military by their civilian leaders will be much more to your liking.
However, until that occurs....gripe all you want about the incredibly inept, unprofessional, and immoral civilian leaders now in office (and in charge of the military), and try as hard as you can to support the very folk you put in harm's way.
Not that I agree that we should be bombing Libya at this point in time, I do want to point out that Airforce pilots are Officers and do not take an oath to obey orders like the non commissioned service members.
“I, (full name) having been appointed a (rank), United States Air Force, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States, against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office upon which I am about to enter, SO HELP ME GOD.”
I agree with you to an extent but is there a limit to that oath? What if Obama orders attacks against US citizens on US soil?
and YES the American public would let it happen!
Bravo, well said.
