Is there something wrong with you?

Not intending to join in this fight, but in fact General Longstreet agreed. He wanted to court martial Stuart for being out raiding at a time Lee badly needed information regarding Union forces.

No relation, different century, and different continent. And anyone quoting children's movies as a source has more than a couple of marbles loose.

Generals have always been whores. Read your history. I don't think Gen. H. Norman Schwarzkopf is whore by any stretch of the imagination. It would be interesting to see you say that to his face. Schwarzkopf was a Democrat. Makes him politically stupid but not a whore.

Mag,
I was a squad leader in the 9th Ward when that order came down. My CO issued the OPORD. During the back brief, I stated, "Sir, that's an unconstitutional illegal order." He said, "you're right, we're not going to do it." Two of our Battalion's companies did not confiscate, two did, for one day. The Battalion Commander refused to comply within 12 hours and our Battalion, as a whole did not.
This discussion does come up over beers from time to time. The majority of Infantry types are very constitutionally minded. Not so much from the REMF types. Probably why the left resents vets and grunts so much. The actually warriors are not idiots.
In 2008 the military as a whole voted the lowest level of R since the draft ended. It still voted 88% R. Liberal cowards do not tend to join the Mil and definitely not the combat arms.
As far as left leaning politicos becoming general officers, got it, it is an issue. But it's the low ranking Soldiers and Marines that make the decisions whether or not to pull triggers.
Good to know how it went down first hand, Point is 50% followed the illegal orders while others didn't. I in no way said all troops will fire upon citizens but undoubtedly if the unthinkable were to happen citizens will die at the hand of the military, be it for a day, month or what ever. I think finding a soldier to fire upon a fellow citizen will be much harder than it was to find a soldier to confiscate arms, the percentage numbers will be much smaller than Katrina. Thank you Rogue for your service and thank you very much for defending the Constitution of the United States of America.

Would you expect him to say, in an >E-MAIL<, that he would not obey orders? Bingo! Never put anything in writing, nor say something controversial unless it is just you and one other person. No corroborating witnesses. That Email is out there forever now. It would not be difficult to find it. I don't think our Military will fire on otherwise law-abiding citizens whose only crime is possession of a firearm that was declared a prohibited weapon long, long after they originally bought it.This very same topic came up after klinton's 1994 AWB. And just who will be giving the military all those details?
