[QUOTE="Fyrtwuck, post: 3489319, member: 23"] The NG is between a rock and a hard place. To me, the military oath is conflicting. You swear to support and defend the constitution of the United States. Then it says to obey the orders of elected officials. We all know know that politicians don’t give direct orders to anyone except officers. When I went through basic, we were told that if we did not obey orders of our superiors, we were subject to arrest and imprisonment under the UCMJ. As teenaged kid fresh out of high school, I knew very little about the constitution, but it was very clear that I had to obey my orders. I had no idea if they were legal and proper, I just knew if I didn’t follow them, I was looking at a Courts Martial. I think if Joe and Ho give the order to go door to door, there will be resistance and young troops AND officers who don’t know more than to obey orders won’t be going home at the end of the day.
