Jamo,
Excellent point about MacArthur. Thanks for the reminder. Still, there is a point where the military has to draw the line between what constitutes a lawful order and what does not. An order from the CinC can be considered not lawful under certain circumstances. 'I was just following orders' is not an excuse, as we know from Nuremburg. It is a slippery slope, but quite honestly, if the Congress was doing it's job properly then we might not be in as much trouble as we are now.

CdC,
The press we have today sells what they think will sell. Today there is a lot of DNC positive press. A few years ago there was a GOP positive press. Neither is a good thing. Both sides have political agendas - those agendas are not in the best interests of this country.
