Are Our Leaders Lacking Discipline Today?

GENERAL ORDERS

As we look around at our young people too often faltering in their lives who is introducing them to some better choices? Here are some from my distant past in ROTC at Western High School in Anaheim California. They were also reinforced at a couple of summers I spent in Military school in Englewood California.

1st General Order

I will guard everything within the limits of my post and quit my post only when properly relieved.

2nd General Order

I will obey my special orders and perform all my duties in a military manner.

3rd General Order

I will report violations of my special orders, emergencies, and anything not covered in my instructions, to the commander of the relief.

Example: WASHINGTON — The protracted wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are forcing the Obama administration to rethink what for more than two decades has been a central premise of American strategy: that the nation need only prepare to fight two major wars at a time.

Example:Russia could use bases for its strategic bombers on the doorstep of the United States in Cuba and Venezuela to underpin long-distance patrols in the region, a senior air force officer said Saturday. "This is possible in Cuba," General Anatoly Zhikharev, chief of the Russian air force's strategic aviation staff, told the Interfax-AVN military news agency.

Our Constitution demands all swear this special allegiance before God, their fellow federal servants and the entire country of citizens. Why do so many of these very leaders proudly boast they are now free to fulfill their obligations however they want to?
