Was a 4 Star General Carter Ham Fired For Disobeying President?

That's exactly what happened. ALL the evidence points to this being the case. Thank goodness there is a new thread to talk about it instead of one of the other Benghazi threads already in existence.

I'm failing to see the issue.

 

Well he's saying it wasn't immediate. Either the report you made was false, inaccurate, or Ham is a liar.

 

The crazies on the right just can't catch a break on this story. No matter what angle they try, it just dives them insane that they can't make this into a issue.

 

Well, looks like we have another guy who constantly checks for updates from winger newssources and winger writers, and then posts a new thread in the D&D with a bunch of copy n' paste and a few of his own lines that amount to, "yeah, well what about this? (3 hours later, different article from the same winger sites) well then ... what about this? (next day, different article on different subject from same winger newsfeed) ha ha! what about this then?!?"

 

If a general disobeys a direct order he should be fired. Are you advocating any different? If a general thinks an order is illegal or wrong then he should quit as a matter of honor and upholding his oath to protect and defend the Constitution. It's strange how Patton can be relieved of duty, McCarthur can be relieved of duty, but if Obama does it (if that's in fact what actually happened) then there is obviously something he's doing wrong.

 

I would hope so.

 

They can string together a story but not a coherent point.

It's a common flaw in people with their mindset.

There's probably less at stake, a freer press and more post-service opportunities than would typically deter a general from publicly voicing dissent. I honestly think the bigger and bloodier the war the more likely there are disagreements between the President and his generals, and between the generals themselves.

 

General Ham was not near Libya on 9/11

 

wow...fail.


Props to those on the right that aren't spinning this and sticking to the facts.
