This is getting dangerously close to treason and sedition:

GOP Congressman Urges U.S. Generals To Resign In Protest Of Obama's Foreign Policy

As U.S.-led airstrikes continue Friday near the Syrian border with Iraq, it's hard to imagine what would make the situation worse than the military suddenly losing all its generals.

But that is exactly what Rep. Doug Lamborn (R-Colo.) told a group of voters he wants to see happen, the Colorado Independent reported.

"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."

...

Tell me what the media would have done about a Democratic Congressman urging generals to resign in 2003, not to mention the calls for arrest by members of the GOP.

Perhaps AG Eric Holder could finally do the right thing, arrest this POS and send a message that if we're going to be at war this kind of shit will not be tolerated. Dream on.
