Re: Marines discharge Sergeant for Facebook posts criticizing President Barack Obama
But in doing what he did he violated the UCMJ, which carries even more legal weight than an order.
I have served through the Clinton, Bush, and Obama administrations. There is nothing about this unique to Obama.
And before that GEN Shinseki was shown the door when he, to the chagrin of Bush and Rumsfeld, told Congress that the Iraq War would take hundreds of thousands of troops and a decade to accomplish. So what is your point? That Presidents fire people who don’t toe the line? Well you’re right. But if you think our current President has a monopoly on that you haven’t been paying attention.
Okay... so what order did he not obey? None...

This isn't a 1 time occurrence with the Obama Administration, either...

Before that you had the firing of Gen. Stanley McChrystal… because he spoke open and honestly to a Rolling Stone reporter… who then did him a major disservice by publicizing things most people keep off the record… Still he didn’t go against any policy… he just was open and honest with a brazen personality…
