Sardonicus,
It shows where you are coming from that you wingnuts typically refer to the President as the Commander in Chief. ("CinC")

We elect presidents, not CinC's. The President is a civilian. As a means of establishing civilian control of the military the Constitution says the President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and the Navy.

Unless you are active duty military the President is not your Commander in Chief and he is most emphastically NOT the Commander in Chief of our country. Fortunately we aren't yet at the point where we have a Commander in Chief of the country or of civilians.
