onthebeach said:Let me explain the situation to you, as it was explained to me when I was a young officer:
First: If your conscience will not allow you to wholeheartedly support the policies and actions of the duly elected and constituted United States government, you should immediately resign your commission.
Second: If you believe that any order you are given is illegal, you have the duty to clearly and immediately express that belief, and the reason(s) for the same, to your Commanding Officer; and, to refuse to obey such order until such time that, by evidence of fact, you are convinced it is in fact a legal order.
If you are in either of the situations described above and don't take the appropriate course of action I've outlined, then you are in violation of your oath of office and the UCMJ.
On the other hand, if you are not in either of the situations I've described, then shut up and do your duty.
Are you mentally challenged, or do you just like to put words in people's mouth and slam them so you sound important?
