This LTC has 10 days to change his tune or face the consequences. Unless the Supreme Court declares that Obama is a usurper, he will be the legal president and even speaking contemptuously is illegal nonetheless disobeying orders or insighting mutiny or treason.

I am not required to obey unlawful orders but I must know what is unlawful. If I believe an order unlawful and refuse it, I can still be court martialled. If I prove the order was unlawful I will be ok, but otherwise I will face serious consequences. An officer would have to be insane to believe they could win a courtmartial against the President when the Supremes wont even hear these B.C. cases. So, unless the Supreme Court declares Obama a usurper, the military will follow his orders with all but very rare exception. (and those exceptions will be punished)

From your link: FACT: If only ONE of the Joint Chiefs of Staff balks we lose an entire arm of our military ! He can not nor will not give the order to mobilize the forces if he has a reason to question the validity of that order. In fact he himself is duty bound to not obey this if not given by a "legal" President or at a minimum is conflicted as to the right thing to do !! The Oath states he will obey the lawful orders of those above him not ANY order. Chief Justice Roberts has as much as told them by distributing this case we may have a constitutional problem with Obama. So at this very moment our Military leaders are likely conflicted. Not a good thing.

First: The officers oath, which is the same oath taken by the Vice President and members of Congress, says nothing about obeying orders.

Second, command no longer goes through the individual service chiefs. It goes directly from the civilian National Command Authority to the commanders of the Geographic Combatant Commands or the Unified Commands

IOW, this guy is either a fake, or some sort of non line officer, such as a Doctor, Nurse, or JAG (who would probably know).
