I'm interested in TBF's thoughts on this: Marine says he will not follow...

Marine says he would not follow Obama's orders, which to me says he will not follow the orders of his superior officer. I don't think Marines are not too cool with this line of thinking.

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Marine Sgt. Gary Stein first started a Facebook page called Armed Forces Tea Party Patriots to encourage service members to exercise their free speech rights. Then he declared that he wouldn't follow orders from the commander in chief, President Barack Obama.
While Stein softened his statement to say he wouldn't follow "unlawful orders," military observers say he may have gone too far.

 

He doesn't have any free speech rights.

 

He should receive an immediate court martial, then given a dishonorable discharge for insubordination.

 

If he leaflets the street corner saying likewise, he's court-martialed. Not sure of the distinction here.

 

I almost wonder if he's trying to get himself discharged for saying mean things about Obama. Posting from his work computer and using "Armed Forces" in the page name seems like a guy who's going out of his way to make this a controversy.

 

Regardless of how one feels about one's superior officer or commander-in-chief, this is the sort of stuff for the stockade. Won't be tolerated.

 

He should be fired (dishonorable discharge), not punished by a military court.

 

Drum him out. Not worth the cost to jail him.

 

Surprised nobody has come up with "put him on the front line in Syria" or something like that, by now....

 

Because no one should want to put him in the position of being responsible for anyone else's life. Dishonorable discharge, immediately. Good luck getting a job, dumbass.

 

Thousands of men and women are serving honorably, regardless of their opinion of the Commander in Chief.

This guy should STFU and do the same.

 

What would be the response of the teabaggers if anti-war members of the military in the 1960s/70s had declared publicly they weren't going to follow LBJs/Nixon's orders in regards to Vietnam?
