Not allowing Lakin to defend himself because of some legalistic nonsense is reminiscent of the Dreyfus trial and begs the question: Is the Army involved in the cover-up?

Lakin is allowed to defend himself against the charges filed against him, and Obama's eligibility is irrelevant to that. Obama could be exposed as a fraud and removed from office tomorrow, and Lakin would still be guilty of refusing to obey the orders of his brigade commander and of missing movement.

Lakin is allowed to defend himself against the charges filed against him, and Obama's eligibility is irrelevant to that.

Lakin's arguments are relevant since the deployment orders to war zones come from the Executive Branch of government that initially starts with the president.

Obama could be exposed as a fraud and removed from office tomorrow, and Lakin would still be guilty of refusing to obey the orders of his brigade commander and of missing movement.

An unconstitutional order is just that which all military personal are compelled by law not to follow. As I said above, the order for his brigade to deploy came from the president himself not from some brigade commander as this article below states throughout:

As we see illustrated here, the orders to deploy starts with the President that flows down from the Secretary of Defense through the CINC Unified Commander to Commander of Joint Task Force or to the Commander of the Sub-unified Command or to the Functional Command Components which could be a divisional commander to the brigade level as so it goes...the Chain-of-Command.

It all starts at the top with Obama.
