If Donald Trump is elected President, would it be more honorable to resign from service or to serve under his "leadership"?

I do not serve a man, I serve my country.
Every President I have served under either had a deeply flawed character or made some very poor decisions that directly affected me in the military. But I Soldier on, because the picture is bigger than the worldview of one man, even the President of the United States.

PO3 Donald Murphy - Guess you kind of lost me on this .. I do get the sarcasm.. Not sure what you are getting at about Obama.. Only thing I said about Obama was I retired with with him as setting President, only because I was medically retired after 21 yrs 8 months ..or I would still be in,, I don't serve the President I serve the Constitution.

Yup - you noticed the sarcasm. Could have also commented on how dare that commie muslim kenyan keep gas prices so low. How dare he. The nerve. But you did say "Even if Trump is elected he still has more military training then obama...Trump went to a military school.. still beats obamas knowledge." Also, "but at least he has respect for our military."

PO3 Donald Murphy - Ok.. I live in Texas.. we have 9 different refineries here.. Obama.. did not keep the fuel prices low the OIL Companies did.. the FEDERAL TAX on your gas and diesel is still the same.. Obama controls that.. The Oil Companies control the flow.. The Oil Companies lowered the price per barrel to drive the "wildcatters" and the "frackers" out of business.. Once these small drilling companies or gone the price of oil WILL go up.. I guess you are an Obama supporter.. Great for you.. So tell me again what military school did Obama go to again?.. That's right...NONE....The only thing that Obama did for the Military was give the CIA a wider rule of engagement with drones during OEF.. So that high value targets could be engaged with drones without having to get confirmation every time.

Now go back to your comments and review every military accomplishment the USA has had under shrub and compare them to what we've done under Obama. Compare your benefits, compare weapons bought/purchased/cancelled, etc.

This is really a topic by a Major? You cannot possibly convince me that you are satisfied with the current performance of this POTUS and the lack of leadership. News flash we are getting our Butts handed to us the only possible direction at this point is up as you cannot go any further down.

TSgt Robert Digby - This is a weird time in Politics. When the debates are more like the Jerry Springer Show talking about if big hands big feet mean big genitals then who cares if size does matter? Seems like the logical side for some need to be bigger.

The only problem I can foresee anyone having for Trump is he says what the rest of us are thinking unlike the other candidates that tell you what you want to hear so you will vote for them. I'm tired of having sunshine pumped up my ass when in reality I am just being lubed for what they are really going to do when they get in office. I've got news for you a lot of other people must like it also because his popularity numbers are going higher and higher. Do I think he's going to win no I do not but he is going to make Hillary work for the Presidency instead of handing over to her because people want to vote for the novelty of having a first woman like the last two elections where everyone wanted they weren't racists by voting for Obama well how has that worked for us? Great if your black or gay not do well for the rest of us

Your oath is not to him, it is to the U.S. Constitution. Conservative service members have served under Obama and sucked it up. Don't make a bad decision based upon an election outcome. My two cents.

There is a time to resign under protest. When your people's lives are at stake for nothing. That is why Col. McMasters wrote "Dereliction of Duty."
Similarly when the Bushies pushed an invasion of Iraq with only 50% of the forces that CENTCOM said were required - the officers in charge of that should have resigned.
Tommy Franks sold the troops out for a book deal.

Dereliction of Duty (1997 book) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dereliction of Duty: Lyndon Johnson, Robert McNamara, The Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the Lies that Led to Vietnam is a book written by then Major, currently Lieutenant General H.R. McMaster, that explores the military's role in the policies of the Vietnam War. The book was written as part of McMaster's Ph.D. thesis at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.[1]

Well, I see that Gen. McMaster's book is on the official reading list of the Marine Corps, but not the Army.
