MALCOLM Pittock is entitled to his views on the present situation in Iraqi. But to say the armed forces "should refuse to obey orders" is ludicrous.
For the armed forces to refuse to obey orders is a treasonable offence -- which is still a hanging offence. Does he want the men and women of the armed forces facing charges of treason?
He should think before he comes out with statements like he has.
