“If he truly thinks the action is outside the law, both nationally and perhaps a war crime type action, then all he can do is resign.”
Again, I disagree. His job, first and foremost, is to serve and protect the American people. He is serving them by forcing Obama to seek congressional approval.
It’s the same Oath that Obama swore, but like any oath, he doesn’t abide by it.
“Perhaps you reject the idea military leaders should refuse if Congress doesnt approve first.”
We haven’t had a dictator here in America before - someone who has attempted unilateral military action.
If Obama forces the resignation - then it is time to draw up impeachment proceedings.

I'm not saying this in an attempt to insult you, but I do think to a certain degree, we're talking past each other here.

Okay, a military leader can't force the President to go back and get Congressional approval. If he remains in his position and defies the President's orders, he will face charges.
His only move is to resign. If he remains at his post and refuses, he's locked up and charged with various infractions for failing a direct command. Being direct orders from the president, it would be very serious charges.

I agree with this.
