major flaw of military orders is that your enemy can become your leader?

in the military, you are asked to uphold the constitution (I agree with this) and to follow the orders of the president (I don't agree with this). Although it makes sense to follow your senior officers for practical purposes and such, otherwise no one would have anything to do, plus you are usually in arms length of your senior officer, a president is different.

Let's say, hypothetically, and I know this is hard to imagine, but let's say a commie, or a terrorist, or whatever happens to plan a coup on America and succeeds, hypothetically, that means you have to serve your president, who was your enemy, and is now your leader.

Don't you find that the least bit dangerous?

One minute you are fighting al qaeda, the next minute, by some strange luck and tactic, they are now your president. I'm not implying that our current president is al qaeda, I'm just saying hypothetically, if you HAVE to follow the president's orders, the president could be satan himself and you'd have to follow those orders. At what point do you retain your conscience and fight for your country? (even if that means being a "traitor" to your conquered country, in other words, a true patriot).
fang: I wish it were that simple, however whoever is in power usually decides what is "constitutional" or not
 
Obey the orders of those "lawfully" appointed over me.

Your argument is off center. I am sure that you don't understand the concept of division of power. But, there are three branches of government. The Judicial, Legislative and Executive. The military is a executive agency. They do not answer to either the legislature or the judicialy. The only way for the military to work in a democracy is under civilian control. Granted the legislature is given the power over military budget and military activity is scrutinized by the court system.

One day the CNC is W the next say Obama. The change of command went smoothly. You must be very young.

How do youenvisionn anybody occupying us. Al Qaeda couldn't occupy New Jersey.
 
That could well be where we are at today. Obama is the best buddy of a Domestic Terrorist and has clear sympathy for the Jihadis. Moreover he is simply not eligible to hold the Presidency, the Constitution forbids it since his Dad was never a US citizen.

Redux:

The tragic fact is that Obama's eligibility was NEVER verified by any official.
 
only and until they anti-christ trys to put the thingie in my hand or my head that allows me to rade and sell will I rebel, so if china takes over or russia or another country I will obey according to romans 13:1-3 as if unto God for God put them over me, the only exception God has given me was when the anti-christ/satan put a tracking devise in me. then I will die.
