Dick Armey even flirted with my wife one night and I let that pass. But this is outside their area of expertise. <\/p>\n<p>This is not a first Amendment Issue, it&#8217;s an Article II, Section 2, issue. Obama is the commander-in-chief of the military and his subordinates aren&#8217;t allowed to decide which orders they will and will not obey. There are several layers of command structure above the sergeant who will protect him from having to execute illegal orders, so there is no need for him to pronounce his intentions publicly. The American public expect us to ignore illegal orders without making a federal case of it.<\/p>\n<p>I remember General John Singlaub, arguably one of the greatest of his generation of soldiers, criticized Jimmy Carter&#8217;s ruminations about withdrawing US troops from Korea and was shit canned immediately. That&#8217;s just the way it goes with soldiers.<\/p>\n<p>Like I said, Freedom Works is engaging targets outside of their lane and using a member of the military as a tool with which to fight a political battle in an election year, and the troops should not have been involved in the first place, and Freedom Works is compounding that error by  waving Stein&#8217;s bloody shirt, so this terminates any relationship I had with Freedom Works.<\/p>\n<p>Besides, I think Stein is one of those Oathkeeper\/Ron Paul f*cks anyway. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While it&#8217;s wrong that Stein will probably be discharged for his indiscretions against the current President, &hellip; <a title=\"Bye-bye, Freedom Works\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=29437\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Bye-bye, Freedom Works<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[93,45,155],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-29437","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-oath-keepers","category-ron-paul","category-shitbags"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29437","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=29437"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29437\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=29437"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=29437"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=29437"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
