Thread Name: BS: Troops Question President's Authority
Subject: RE: BS: Troops Question President's Authority
Article **: "Any commissioned officer who uses contemptuous words against the President... Disagreement with an order is not relevant. Disagreement with the political aspirations of the president is not relevant. If this person exists and if he called the president a usurper, than he would, IMHO, come pretty close to "using contemptuous words".

That speaks volumes about the poster. You betcha. My post expresses the penalty for being found guilty of such a charge and specification and my personal contempt for such an individual. A military officer must respect the office, regardless of what he may think about the individual holding it. I say this from the perspective of 23 years of military service.
