Obama's Corrupt and Immoral Abuse of the Military

From The American Thinker Blog:

Barack Obama's decision to send American special forces to Syria is not only hypocritical, but also a corrupt and immoral abuse of his powers as commander-in-chief.
.................

Rather, in Obama's case – uniquely in American history – we have a president who puts Americans in harm's way for no evident reason other than personal political calculations.

The insertion of fifty U.S. special-forces troops into Syrian peril, whether to serve as "non-combatant" advisors or something more, has been undertaken without any reasonable hope of meaningful military success or of advancing American interests. It is simply a political ploy, so obvious that no right-thinking American, on the right or the left, ought to countenance it, including the military officers charged with executing the mission.

Obama has a tendency to micromanage military operations – fifty commandos here, a few sorties there. He also thinks he's smarter than his own generals. But at least other such figures actually wanted to win a war. Obama doesn't want to do even that. He just wants to win political points.

This brings us to the final question: at what point will America's generals say "enough"? Even some of Hitler's officers, on pain of death, could be pushed only so far from their professional training and honor before they resigned, or else got themselves fired, or shot, or hung by piano wire.

Our military officers are sworn to defend the country and the Constitution, not the commander in chief. When will they resign in protest?

Unfortunately, not enough and not soon enough. The Generals, who run the Pentagon are basically political animals, who care more about career advancement than the troops.
