Would the judge still be at risk for 'disrespecting a superior officer' no matter what the billet?

Would the judge still be at risk for 'disrespecting a superior officer' no matter what the billet?
- torstenvl 9y agoIn this case, no. When the senior officer is of a different service, they are considered "superior" only if actually in the chain of command. In general, this can be a source of tension. But ultimately, billet trumps rank. If the gate guard tells the Colonel that he can't come through the gate, the Colonel would do well to obey.
- ISL 9y agoSeconded: General order #1 covers this sort of thing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Orders_for_Sentries https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Orders_for_Sentries
- jasonjei 9y ago> If the gate guard tells the Colonel that he can't come through the gate, the Colonel would do well to obey. Does this include the US President, commander-in-chief, hypothetically?
- yladiz 9y agoHypothetically, the US president could just make some calls that would eventually reach to the gate guard’s superior and allow him through.
