A true (currently deployed) Patriot!
"Officer Easterling's consent form as Active military officer deployed with the US military in Iraq joins legal action by Dr. Orly Taitz, ESQ to unseal vital records of Barack Hussein Obama, AKA Barry Soetoro.
To Any and All Interested Parties,
As an active-duty Officer in the United States Army, I have grave concerns about the constitutional eligibilty of Barack Hussein Obama to hold the Office of President of The United States. He has absolutely refused to provide to the American public his original birth certificate, as well as other documents which may prove or disprove his eligibility. In fact, he has fought every attempt made by concerned citizens in their effort to force him to do so.
Until Mr. Obama releases a "vault copy" of his original birth certificate for public review, I will consider him neither my Commander in Chief nor my President, but rather, a usurper to the Office - an impostor.
My conviction is such that I am compelled to join Dr. Orly Taitz's lawsuit, as a plaintiff, against Mr. Obama. As a citizen, it pains me to do this, but as an Offficer, my sworn oath to support and defend our Constitution requires this action.
I joined the Army at age 40, after working in Iraq as a contractor with KBR in '05/'06. I chose to work with KBR to support my troops and then left that lucrative position when the Army raised it's maximum enlistment age to 40. Upon completion of Basic Training, I entered Officer Candidate School and commissioned as a 2LT in August 2007. After completing the subsequent Basic Officer Leadership courses, I was assigned to Ft. Knox and shortly therafter deployed to Balad, Iraq. I was promoted to 1LT on Feb. 2, 2009 and I have approximately five months remaining of our fifteen month deployment.
I implore all Service-members and citizens to contact their Senators and Representatives and demand that they require Mr. Obama prove his eligibility. Our Constitution and our great nation must not be allowed to be disgraced.
Very Respectfull,
Scott R. Easterling
1LT OD/LG
United States Army

Why?
Whoa!!!
Spel czeck shold bee mi frend.
Oye!
I’d venture to guess that this Army officer can think for himself.
That poor guy is going to be assigned to sand grain inventory on Palmyra Island, (4.6 sq. miles, half way between Hawaii and American Samoa), for the rest of his career, even if he re-enlists....
He probably wasn’t destined to be Chief of Staff anyway.
ping, may be interesting to see what happens to Lt Easterling.
Ping sandrat, sorry old sarge, pinged the wrong person.. Don’t worry about scratching your head why I pinged you, my bad..
Agreed!
No problem - it’s interesting to read how Lt. Easterling is committing suicide with his future...
You should see what happened when they first called for active duty personnel to join the lawsuit and Sandrat and myself made the mistake(sic) of suggesting they contact their JAG for advice prior to signing on.. You would think we where defending Bambi.
It's called an OER (Officer Evaluation Report), and this is the bureaucratic equivalent of seppuku.
We will grumble in the barracks. We will commiserate in the bars. We will speak in hushed tones on the range.
We will find ways to vent our feelings.
But no serving soldier will mutiny against The One (piss be upon him). American troops don’t mutiny. Leftist civilians mutiny. We don’t; that’s called treason.
Our point wasn’t even the mutiny part, much simpler, it was simply to make sure that your legal basis where covered prior to signing ANY legal document.
Thanks, Sarge. We called them fitreps in the USN, and it would be the bureaucratic equivalent of jumping overboard in shark-infested waters.
I believe that too.
They may hold show elections. But ACORN with their vote fraud will neutralize our voices.
IMO, it appears Lt. Easterling is putting the Constitution and our Country ahead of his personal future.
Sounds an aweful like those who 'dared' sign a Declaration of Independence back in 1776.
Let me remind you all that the Second Amendment (right to bear arms) is so that you can get redress when your government stops performing as the Constitution directs it to. You may topple the current Government but that should be within the framework of the Declaration Of Independence and the Constitution.
Luckily for this guy he is only a 1LT. Pressure can still come from above, but at least his selection for promotion happens far below the cabinet level (if I remember my officer promotions right).
You’d be surpised at the stupidity or naïveté of many people. Then again, maybe not.
