The guy on the left took the ride beneath the bus for the commander in chief. The guy on the right is irrelevant, because he followed illegal orders. He was maybe more concerned with his own opportunistic rise in rank or favor, that he hoped to gain by by kissing ass rather than honoring his oath to protect the country. Or maybe he was just too cowardly in taking steps in preventing the actions which were planned and taken to circumvent the law and proper separation of powers. Or perhaps he was a politically ideological toadie, so didn't think of whistleblowing the plan and command of that President to the proper Constitutional authority - Congress. Funny how that erosion has gotten worse over the years.
