    Obama said there was no foreign election interference. Obama ignored our treaty to defend Ukraine and let Russia invade them and annex land. It was crooked Hillary and the DNC who were seeking foreign help. Do you blame Trump for throwing the Intelligence Community under the bus? If they treated me like they treated him, I would throw them under and repeatedly drive back and forth over them.

    What did Obama mean when he told Putin that he would be more flexible in the future? Why did Obama allow the sale of USA uranium to Putin? Why did Obama order spying on the GOP? Why did Obama correspond with Hillary on an unsecure server? Isn't Michele running for President? Why is Obama on the Riviera conferring with Merkel and Macron? Is Obama planning another coup attempt with Germany?

    HOLD YOUR HORSES - WE ARE GETnueTING WAY OFF OP

    In case you forgot - here is the OP
    Our oath of enlistment, as well as the UCMJ, requires ... and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations ....

    Of course, those orders must be "Lawful"

    I am watching "The Color of War" - e "Silent and Deep" on the military History Chanel.

    There was a segment in which s Navy Sub sunk a Jap boat - then about 50 member of the
    Jap crew were floating in sea. The Cpt of the USA ship ordered his troops to shoot all of thie surrivals.

    A. Was this a lawful order
    B. Would you have obeyed this order
    C. If the Cpt threatened you with Brig time...

    Open for discussion


    OK - and now lets continue

    It was lawful at that time and I would follow it.
