Then several people need to be demoted or fired..
Reports are that Valerie Jarrett was the person who gave the military the “Stand Down” order when Benghazi was going all pear shaped.
Now, I don’t know, I wasn’t there. But IF (and again, I haveta say IF) this is true, then the people who accepted that order were in dereliction of duty by taking an order from an unelected civilian not in the chain of command.
Again, I wasn’t there. I don’t know how the order to Stand Down was transmitted, or who signed it. But if the military folks accepted the command of Valerie Jarrett, then they need to be fired.
Unfortunately, having the 'Nads to refuse to obey the order unless directly issued by the Commander in Chief has been bred out of any person likely to be selected for command nowadays. There are no Pattons in the Military any longer.
Juvat is right… dammit… And this DOES go against a whole bunch of regs…
Considering she's been the de facto Commander in Chief since '08, they thought they were following direct commands.
