Officers do not pledge an oath to the President so they can defy his orders and put any enlisted in the brig that defies their own.

Ain't that the truth. What was that general (there was more than one) Patreus? That got caught spilling beans to a reporter he was banging on the side. Nothing happened.

Private Snuffy does that and his First Shirt would be the first one to rip him a new asshole and start the UCMJ punishment.

Rules for thee not for me.
