You obviously don't know or can't comprhend the difference between the
President being "ultimately responsible" (that is; responsible as C-in-C for
the *overall conduct* of the U.S. military) and responsible for each and ever
action of over 1 million service members. You are "flip-flopping" (go Kerry
,go) yet again. Several posts ago you said a commander (much lower in the
Chain
of Command than the C-In-C) was not personally responsible if a vehicle was
not
properly maintained by a negligent NCO, now you're saying the "ultimate
responsibility" of the President means he's responsible for every individual
U.S. members actions. Perhaps in your examples, your commander is a Democrat?


What I've said on this issue is pretty much what the editorial staff at the
Military Times has said. I am willing to leave it there.
