Colorado Rep. Doug Lamborn (R) speaking at CPAC conference

wait till you read this then sit down and hold your stomach tightly.
Rep. Doug Lamborn says he and like-minded House Republicans are trying to destabilize the American military in order to foil American foreign policy abroad. No really, he's bragging about it.
[T]hat 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.”
can you believe this idiot he's telling Generals to commit treason blow off their jobs, pensions and lives so they can agree with him, disregarding almost all spokespersons for the tight have said they agree with Pres. and support his decision, not to mention the multiple foreign countries who have committed to help in his plan. making him wing nut of the year. who will command the armed forces certainly not him not supporting troops or working against keeping us safe you pick the anti patriot and name those who are meeting in secret behind closed doors to defy their Commander in Chief, sounds more and more like treason.
Lamborn, it should be noted, is a member of the House Armed Services Committee.
Remember the Bush years, when we were being told that not supporting the president during a time of war was tantamount to hating America, and that we had to "watch what we say," and American intelligence agencies were monitoring anti-war groups like the Quakers under the suspicion that they might damage the war effort.
If you're meeting with American military generals and telling them to quit en masse to be able to undermine the president's ability to conduct military operations, what the hell do you call that?
