I would like to see a general court martial. Drag him through the ordeal.

Obama doesn't want a court martial because it would require the introduction of evidence by the accused to defend his position.


I predict an honorable discharge.

As has already been noted many times in this thread, his position is indefensible. He's a serving officer in the US military. He can believe what he likes about Obama but he cannot disobey an order that is not, in and of itself, illegal.

His orders do not come from the President!

His Commanding Officer and the Department of the Army are the ones who ordered him to Afghanistan, not the President of the United States.

POTUS would never be called to his coming Courts Martial because as he is not the one whose orders were disobeyed.

Is this too complicated a concept for you to understand?

But his questioning Mr. Obama's right to be president was the basis of his argument . To be prosecuted, even under the uniform code of justice, allows a person to bring and supeana evidense.
