Now, I have not made a final decision about various actions that might be taken to help enforce that norm. But as I've already said, I have had my military and our team look at a wide range of options. We have consulted with allies. We've consulted with Congress. We've been in conversations with all the interested parties, and in no event are we considering any kind of military action that would involve boots on the ground, that would involve a long-term campaign. But we are looking at the possibility of a limited, narrow act that would help make sure that not only Syria, but others around the world, understand that the international community cares about maintaining this chemical weapons ban and norm.
In a wide sense it's "our" armed forces but the Prez is also kinda right here. It's not the most artfull phrase he has used but it sorta is "his" military in so far as he is the boss.
I didn't notice this before, but what the hell is wrong with this guy?

President Obama is the Commander-in-Chief. Of course he doesn't own the military but within the War Powers Act he and he alone is solely in control, and he will make the decision to go or not. Just like Reagan, Bush I, Clinton and Bush II did.
In a wide sense it's "our" armed forces but the Prez is also kinda right here. It's not the most artfull phrase he has used but it sorta is "his" military in so far as he is the boss.
Well he speaks as if he owns them. He is their boss, not their master.

I see your point, let me explain why I think you are wrong.
The clearest way to do so is to the US and the British military.
British navy vessels are designated by HMS, which means Her, or His, Majesty's Ship because the British military is an extension of the crown.
The US Navy designates their ships USS because they are an extension of the United States.
The British Military swears an oath to obey the Queen. "I swear by Almighty God that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, her heirs and successors and that I will as in duty bound honestly and faithfully defend Her Majesty, her heirs and successors in person, crown and dignity against all enemies and will observe and obey all orders of Her Majesty, her heirs and successors and of the generals and officers set over me."
The US military swears an oath to the Constitution. "I, _____, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God."
I can go on, but I think you get the picture, Obama views himself as a monarch, not the president, and his mask slips on occasion.

Did anyone tell Obama the military does not belong to him?

You and the op are projecting your own bias here...what a stupid topic.
Did anyone tell Obama the military does not belong to him?
Why would anyone need to?
The president has made no such claim; the cited is idiomatic, a figure of speech.
The OPs premise is consequently ignorant and partisan, or a willful lie and partisan.

BULLSHIT !!! figure of speech, shove that right up your ass
"I have had my military"
my; of or relating to me or myself especially as possessor,
of, belonging to, or associated with the speaker or writer (me)
of or belonging to me
OK ?? in it's usage, "my" is possessive, meaning, he owns the Military !!!
