NOT TRUE, NO ONE HAS TO OBEY *ILLEGAL*, UNSCRUPULOUS AND/OR ILL-ADVISED ORDERS OF THEIR SO-CALLED "COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF"!!!!! AND THE PRESIDENT, ANY AND ALL U.S. PRESIDENTS, IS AND/OR ARE *ONLY* THE COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF *OF THE MILITARY* AND THE JOINT CHIEFS OF STAFF THAT ARE MILITARY, *NOT* COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF OF *ANYONE ELSE* IN THE PRESIDENT'S ADMINISTRATION AND/OR CABINET, AND CERTAINLY NOT OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE (UNLESS THEY ARE MEMBERS OF THE MILITARY) WHO THE PRESIDENT IS SUPPOSED TO REPRESENT (HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH)!
It's like everyone in U.S. politics today, as well as most of the American people, falsely believe that the president is their "Commander-in-Chief". This is a really dangerous precedent because it encourages everyone to be on a military footing, to falsely believe that whatever the president orders militarily must be "necessary", and to blindly support almost anything and everything that the presidency orders. On the contrary, we all as Americans have the DUTY to NOT obey orders that are not truly to the benefit of the American people, the world, and to national and international security. So, obviously, if the president orders something that is disagreed to by most of their primary staff, and/or the majority of the American people, the staff have the duty to not allow it to be followed.
P.S.---I laugh again, with tears in my heart.
