Fortunately for us, the United States is a representative democracy where the people elect leaders to make decisions that affect all of us. The President of the USA is representative of the "Will of the People" and the Commander-In Chief of the armed forces that guard our country. If we lose that vision we lose it all. A bunch of military renegades with stars on their shoulders doesn't put them above the Constitution or the law.
Moreover, Obama isn't acting alone. He evaluates foreign policy through the eyes of the CIA and other government intelligentsia. The decision to work towards the removal of Assad in Syria was not made lightly. Obama's foreign policy advisors and the CIA are instrumental in his publicly announcing his goal
Apparently, the former head of the JCS, Martin Dempsey, thought differently and favored the retention of Assad. When and if he acted contrary to the stated policies of the US president he was in direct violation of the UCMJ and other laws regarding sedition.
But wait! Where is the Secretary of Defense, Ash Carter? Where is the voice of the Senate chairman of th a Armed forces services committee, John McCain? These guys should know what is going on.why haven't they spoken out about it.
