What else would a proper channel be? Ask up your chain who tells you to shut up and obey the CIC who you are sure is illegal? Ultimately his argument is that Obama *is not* his commander in chief due to ineligibility. For there to be a case, he must disobey an order. Then it can be tested in court.
Same as if he walked in one day and a high school ROTC kid was there in the commanders office, issuing orders. He has a right to know if this is legitimate. He has a legal obligation not to obey orders he believes to be illegal.

Isn’t the military oath to uphold the US Constitution?
