Republican members of Congress are urging military officers to rebel against the Obama administration’s middle eastern foreign policy by resigning “in a blaze of glory,” according to U.S. Rep. Doug Lamborn of Colorado.During a liberty group forum on Wednesday night in the basement of a Colorado Springs bar, Lamborn, a member of the House Armed Services Committee, answered a question from a member of the audience who urged members of Congress to “support the troops” in the absence of leadership from the White House.According to Cory Hutchins, who attended the meeting, Lamborn responded by remarking, ““You know what, I can’t add anything to that, but do let me reassure you on this. 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.’”

“‘You know, let’s have a pubic resignation, and state your protest, and go out in a blaze of glory,’” Lamborn added . “And I haven’t seen that very much, in fact I haven’t seen that at all in years.”
The Pentagon failed to respond to Hutchins’ request for a comment, but Democrat Irv Halter, a retired Air Force major general who is running against Lamborn, accused Lamborn of politicizing the military.
“Our elected officials should not be encouraging our military leaders to resign when they have a disagreement over policy,” Halter said in a statement. “Someone who serves on the House Armed Services Committee should know better.”
The notion that Lamborn and other members of Congress are urging military leaders to resign amidst yet another bombing campaign in the middle east is extremely noteworthy given suggestions that ground troops may ultimately be deployed in Syria and Iraq to target ISIS militants.
Rumors of rancor were rife amongst members of the military in opposition to Obama’s derailed plan to attack Syria last year, with many taking to Twitter to express their discontent at the White House’s policy of arming jihadist militants throughout the region.
When both active duty and retired soldiers began posting images on Twitter under the #IdidntJoin hashtag to signal their opposition to fighting on the same side as Al-Qaeda terrorists in order to topple the Assad government in Syria, many quarters of the media attempted to claim that the images were fake or the work of pro-Assad hackers, despite numerous indications to suggest that the pictures were indeed genuine.

This Congressman Just Called on Military Leaders to Start a Massive Rebellion Against Barack Obama

There should no longer be any doubt that President Obama has little, if any, respect for the US military.
He has routinely ignored the advice of leadership, has bucked tradition by imposing social change, and has implemented policies that place our deployed men and women in greater danger.

On top of that, Obama has been firing Generals, and other high ranking officers, who don’t agree with his social engineering or question his policies, leading many people to question why.
Now our military leaders are being encouraged to “stand up” and rebel against Obama and his failed policies, by publicly resigning their commissions. (H/T RightWingNews)
Colorado Representative Doug Lamborn, a member of the House Armed Services Committee, is calling on military leadership to resign their commissions in protest of the way in which Obama has handled the various crises that have flared up around the world.

“[L]et me reassure you on this,” Lamborn told a small gathering of voters in Colorado Springs on Tuesday. “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.’
“You know, let’s have a pubic resignation, and state your protest, and go out in a blaze of glory. I haven’t seen that very much. In fact, I haven’t seen that at all in years.”
There has already been a number of high-ranking officials that have resigned during Obama’s regime. Whether these resignations were in direct defiance of Obama is unknown thus far, but it is certainly a possibility in some cases.
Nobody has called for an outright, military coup-type rebellion against Obama, yet, but if he doesn’t step back and allow the military to do the job they have been trained to do, then such a thing could conceivably occur.
Something needs to happen soon though, as Obama’s abysmal handling of foreign affairs has placed our country in greater danger, and our military stands at the forefront of that danger.
Please share this on Facebook and Twitter if you would like to see our nation’s military leaders stand up in defiance of Obama’s stupendously stupid handling of world crises.
