During a March 2012 hearing Secretary Penetta and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey admitted that their authority comes not from the U.S. Constitution, but that the United States is subservient to and takes its marching orders from the United Nations and NATO, international bodies over which the American people have no democratic influence.

Of course, when you consider that the United Nations had zero ability to prevent the US from invading Iraq, or countless other failures of the United Nations to exert their influence, it seems more likely that the aforementioned statements are nothing more than fearmongering - most likely for political reasons - promulgated as yet another means of trying to sabotage the administration in office.

The US military did have a role in guarding the border of the Republic of Korea (South Korea) and the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea (North Korea) under the premises of the United Nations, but that mission is conducted solely by the ROK Army now. Iraq's borders are now being guarded by Iraqi personnel (perhaps with the presence of US advisors still, although these are just as likely to be contractors as they are military personnel). All in all, the US military isn't guarding any borders, although some National Guard units have been tasked to assist the Customs and Border Patrol.
