-That's the difference between a civilian and a soldier.
-North actually worked with teh freedom fighters, made promises to them, spoke for our nation to them. Then when the left wanted out, they bought the votes of several congressmen who had supported the effort. Now the freedom fighters were left without the means to carry on, means we promised them. Without these means they would be hunted down and killed.
-Yes, the military is sworn to obey civilian leadership if the oders are lawful and within the focus of the constitution. In this case the congressional witholding of funds was according to law. North as a bureaucrat should have obeyed. North, as a soldier, worked with a group that sought other means. They did not use US funds, as denied by congress. HOwever, they used funds they obtained by tricking Iran to support the Latin American frredom fighters.
-Yes a bureaucrat would turn his back on men about to die for believing in US promises. For a soldier, it was a little harder.
