Obama's Treachery toward Israel -- Conduct Unbecoming an Officer and a Gentleman

President Obama's actions toward Israel and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.Treacherous. Vindictive. Dangerous. Unbalanced. ~~~~~ And more important. Unbecoming : "Uniform Code of Military Justice. ARTICLE 133. CONDUCT UNBECOMING AN OFFICER AND A GENTLEMAN. Any commissioned officer, cadet, or midshipman who is convicted of conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman shall be punished as a court-martial may direct." The elements of the offense are: 1. That the accused did or omitted to do certain acts; and 2. That under the circumstances, these acts or omissions constituted conduct unbecoming an officer and gentleman. -- Here "officer" includes commissioned officers, cadets, and midshipmen of both sexes, hence the more common term unbecoming. A gentleman is understood to have a duty to avoid dishonest acts, displays of indecency lawlessness, dealing unfairly, indecorum, injustice, or acts of cruelty. ~~~~~ Barack Obama loves to refer to himself as Commander-in-Chief. We would be entitled to expect that he would hold himself to the same high standards demanded of every United States military officer. If he had done that, he would not have taken his vengeful line of attack against America's best friend, Israel, simply because Prime Minister Netanyahu sided with 85% of Americans and most of the world in disagreeing with the Obama-Iran nuclear deal. Perhaps until now, we might have simply wondered if Obama's revenge was "Unbecoming." But, in declassifying and revealing Israel's nuclear program, there is no doubt that "Commander-in-Chief" Obama has engaged in "conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman." ~~~~~ Dear readers, it is more than clear that Congress will not act to rein in this imposter living in the White House by raising Articles of Impeachment. But, since the UCMJ is an act adopted by Congress and codified in Title 10 of the United Sates Code, perhaps Congress would consider proceeding with raising Articles of Impeachment under 10 USC §933, which is UCMJ Article 133, Conduct Unbecoming an Officer and a Gentleman. It would provide a framework that many of Obama Unbecoming impeachable acts would fit into. Or could we hope that the military would express its distaste in a court martial? This seems extremely unlikely since Obama controls the military. So, once more, Americans will have to keep the flame of constitutional process alive. Conduct Unbecoming. Use this phrase to describe President Obama's profoundly unpresidential behavior -- at every opportunity.
