At the least those of us serving are under a cloud.

Negative.

I respectfully submit that it is time for the President to be transparent on his records and submit to full disclosure.

Agree. Get your Congressman on it.

The military court/judge, in my opinion, is in error and jepordizes those serving and the entire country.

Imagine the chaos if every service member had standing to challenge the legality of every order issued by every senior in his chain of command.

Be glad our Framers gave us a political solution to our concerns.

I have imagined the chaos, and it is of deep concern to me. Personnally, I considered LTC Lakin to be acting on behalf of all members of the service. However, the military system is failing to resolve an issue and the “congress” refuses to do anything....even those of the GOP. The “political solution” isn’t working. LTC Lakin and others just want the POTUS to fully prove his eligibility as any service member must. I can’t tell you the sheer number of times I have been required to provide a full BC (not that redacted Hawaiian stuff) college records, financial records, etc. just to serve and to receive security clearance.

Uhhhh. We do. It's a judgment call. If a....errr....officer, such as yourself tells me to mow down civilians, I can tell you to kiss my butt and I'll see you at the court marshal. You have obviously never served in the military. We aren't the pakistanis.......we don't just do what we're told....

What chaos?

There would be one initial case that would then be settled... and then any and all further cases would be thrown out due to the prior decisions made in the original.
