You know I would tend to agree with you except for the fact that he is said to be a surgeon and will thus have no problem in the private sector after he is booted out. It’s the Army’s loss as they are in dire need of such professionals.
But the fact that you didn’t take that into account shows you are careless to details.
I think it highly likely that this Lt. Col. did not come to his conclusion in a vacuum, there are surely other fellows in his group that are discussing the eligibility issue.
I know from experience that military professionals tend to stick together both inside and outside, so it’s a safe bet that the Lt. Col. knows very well what he is doing.
And Obama’s personal lawyers who have already spent millions of dollars from his campaign fund, continue to spend enormous sums of money to block the release of a $10 certificate record.
He’s a “flight surgeon” which is a normal Medical Doctor which checks out pilots—something like an Internist, not a surgeon who does surgery. He does have a pretty high-status job as an Army MD as he is watching over the pilots which fly the Army Chief of Staff around....
The guy has 18 years, which means he’s 2 away from retirement.
This could/would damage his career as an MD out of the Army (if he loses)...as medical boards would frown on a man with a dishonorable discharge—plus, I believe he would completely forfeit a generous pension.
Whether he’s cuckoo or not, this is a very gutsy move.
