Doug Lamborn: Our generals should resign and not take orders from Obama

In what can only be described as the greatest act of sedition patriotism in the history of the nation congressman Doug Lamborn (R-Colo.) wants our military generals to resign in protest rather than follow orders from their Commander In Chief.

Quote:

“A lot of us are talking to the generals behind the scenes, saying, ‘Hey, if you disagree with the policy that the White House has given you, let’s have a resignation,’” Lamborn said Tuesday, adding that if generals resigned en masse in protest of President Barack Obama’s Middle East policy, they would “go out in a blaze of glory.”

Quote:

But military generals are unlikely to heed Lamborn's call to resign. When Gen. David Petraeus, then the commander of U.S. forces in Afghanistan, openly criticized the administration's policies there, the White House reacted strongly, and some suggested Petraeus should resign. Petraeus decided against it, saying a resignation would hurt American interests. "Our troopers don't get to quit, and I don't think commanders should contemplate that, again, as any kind of idle action," Petraeus said.

I'd be interested to know if Doug Lamborn served in the military himself.
