[BFix] FW: The new Socialism!

[Formerjughead at aol.com]

I'll say it again: You respect the office/rank/position and the person  
holding the office or rank. The person of office/ rank or position will  earn any 
loyalty or disloyalty they deserve, regardless and irrespective of  your 
personal feelings for the person holding the office / rank or  position.
 
If you are at a baseball game and Milli Vanilli or Michael Jackson is  
singing the National Anthem do you stand out of respect for the National Anthem  or 
the person singing it?

The  My-Lai reference was wholly in reply to your 
salute-the-rank-not-the-man  comment where you inferred that 
office-holding somehow elevated the  politician to the level of the 
Constitution and provided him with the same  level of loyalty.  My-Lai 
was used to show that an officer (or office  holder as per the general 
thrust of this discussion) only rates and  receives the 
loyalty/protection of the rank as long as they uphold their  own sworn 
responsibilities.  The office itself provides no shield  (actual or 
implied) to the office holder that would allow them to be  released from 
liability for violating their  oath.
