Good point. Except that I, as an individual in the military, do not have the right to unilaterally determine whether there is or is not a domestic enemy, nor do I, as an individual in the military, have the right to take unauthorized action with respect to my perception.

Think about it. What state would the military be if any individual, at their whim could decide that someone/some office is a domestic enemy and start taking unilateral action? I believe the term is anarchy and is generally thought to be a bad thing in the military.

The appropriate action is that if an individual suspects that there is a "domestic enemy" is to report it up the chain of command, or if the individual suspects the chain of command, up through another chain of command, or refer it to another agency, or another branch of the government.

This is my point. There are multiple authorized venues for reporting "domestic issues" . Leaking the information to unauthorized people aint one of them.
