Don't forget chain of command training. And, I posted what the spokesman said.

Soldiers can be punished for not following lawful orders or for following unlawful orders. There are limits to the authority of the "chain of command" in our military and ultimately members of the military are personally responsible for complying with the laws and regulations to which they are subject. The defense of "just following orders" has been tried and has failed repeatedly throughout our history.

Might and right are not synonymous. What Obama did was a mistake. As president, he makes and gets away with many mistakes. His attitude has always been that rules apply to other people. That has been his biggest mistake, and he is slowly finding out that he will ultimately be held responsible for his behavior.

The big question on the Benghazi scandal that has not been answered months after Obama's administration refused to send help to the Americans in that Libyan city, is where was Obama that night? Where are the photos of him personally managing the crisis. You know, like the ones that the Obama staff released immediately after the raid that resulted in bin Laden's death? Was he sleeping soundly in the safety of his bed as those Americans were pleading for his help?
