Michael New - Mercenary... or American Soldier

When is obedience to an order treason?
Can an American soldier be forced to serve a foreign power?
That's what we're going to find out!
American sovereignty hangs in the balance




What happened?

On October 10, 1995, the 1/15 Battalion of the 3rd infantry Division of the U.S. Army came to attention at 0900 in Schweinfurt, Germany. All but one of the 550 soldiers were wearing a sky-blue baseball-style cap with a United Nations insignia on the front. One was wearing the olive-drab flat cap that is authorized to be worn with the Battle Dress Uniform. With this simple act of disobeying a direct order, Spc. 4 Michael New set the stage for a legal battle that has profound implications for the future of American soldiers into service of the United Nations without the constitutional permission of Congress.

  • the US Supreme Court refused to touch it.
