Any Commander's decision should not be subject to the whims of "democracy." Whether or not we agree with that person. The privilege of command comes with the responsibility of doing what THEY think is Right, not what Public Opinion thinks is Right at that moment.

There is a reason we have a singular executive head, as opposed to a committee.

This man shows more concern for muslims, refugees, and immagrants. What about the Veteran who took his life by jumping off the 3rd floor at a VA medical center? What about the 22 Veterans who commit suscide a day? What about the Veterans who are still waiting to receive benefits? I was talking to a friend today who use to be in the military. He told me there were lots of refugees with cell phones and tablets, all maless, ages 18-24. No passports, he w said it was very weird. He also stated he was having to watch his back. We do not needs this cap in the USA.

While the majority of Americans may not want refugees in the U.S., quite frankly there is nothing they can do about it. Obama is not up for reelection so he can pretty much do as he wants within the bounds of U.S. laws and the Constitution. If he thinks it is the right thing to do, he will do it. He also knows that Congress will not pursue any kind of impeachment hearings and there are still enough Democratic senators to filibuster any legislation. We just hope that none of the refugees turns out to be a terrorist.

Because the will of the people is of no concern to him. He is our king, after all.
