Army Calls ‘Birther’ Doc’s Bluff
Military.com ^ | April 9, 2010 | Bryant Jordan

It's guts ball time for an Army surgeon who has vowed not to deploy to Afghanistan with his unit unless President Obama provides evidence that he's a "natural born" citizen of the United States.

In response to previously published statements by Lt. Col. Terrence Lakin, the Army presented an official letter of counseling that directs him to report to Fort Campbell, Ky., on April 12 to begin deployment preparations with his unit.

A doctor told me that what he may be hiding is his legal race. Apparently at the time of his birth, a child of mixed race was designated to be the race of the mother, which would list him as white.

Show me a Birth Certificate that lists the race of the child.

"His orders would not have been signed by Obummer, but by officers whose authority is not in question. Plus, legally Obummer is the President unless and until he is impeached or a competent authority declares him ineligible. He was sworn in by the Chief Justice and took the Constitutional oath which means for the time being he is President."

Military authority flows from the Constitution, through the CNC (Obie) and down to the guy who signed the orders and to the guy protesting them. The Officer Corps swears allegiance to the constitution and NOT to the CNC/president, George Washington was kind of hard line on that concept. The issue is whether or not it is, in the end, a LEGAL order, and an order initiated by an illegal authority should be pretty clearly not enforceable.

Otherwise you are correct, the guy is toast.

Note that the original article includes a statement to the effect that the order is assumed to be legal...so there!

“So your belief that he is making a mistake is funny to you? You think it’s funny to call the man a ‘birther’ and a ‘cuckoo’?”

I guess he’s a mirther.

A mirther is someone who finds it funny that the Kenyan imposter is slowly destroying the USA, and heaps scorn on the brave heroes who are trying by legal means to save our country.

“He’s making a big mistake”

NO, the mistake is in the White House.

Keep the heat on the traitor, may he rot in hello.

We take an oath to defend the constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. Art II section 1 specifies the two basic criteria to be eligible for president. Natural born means both parent u.s. citizens. Obama upon birth had dual citizenship thus ineligible. The media claims he is natural born, he is not. Thus orders by the military going over seas is under the direction of the president as ultimate CinC. Therefore orders out of the country is invalid.

I see. So the failure of the Pres__ent to merely produce a certified copy of his birth certificate, thus fulfulling a Constitutional requirement, makes the rest of us crazy?

Anyone who dares to question the birth certificate or educational documents WILL BE and ARE NOW BEING VILLIFIED. The real "audacity" is not "hope," but lack of full disclosure.

History is replete with decent folks listening to the wrong people.

History is also replete with decent folks who sat back and did NOTHING while very bad things happened.

He should not throw away his career for this. The decision whether or not to follow deployment orders is not the proper forum to address the birth certificate issue.

Then what is? Courts have thrown out many lawsuits on "standing". At least if they send him to a Court Martial, there would be no question of standing. He'd at least get a chance to argue that the orders are illegal, and why. Doesn't mean he'd get "discovery", but it might not be required, depending on his arguement.

Well said.

I don’t know any true conservative that wouldn’t love to see Obama removed from office (through impeachment or over the eligibility issue) before he destroys our great country. At this point, it shouldn’t matter whether you believe the issue has merit or not...we should all be praying that it does and that we can remove the marxist thug punk before he gets us all killed or enslaves every man woman and child for generations to come to the service of communism!

I somewhat agree.

Obama is hiding a lot. Hell, I would expect a PFC to question the legality of his Company CO’s order(s) as it is the officer who gives the orders based on his commission/serving at the pleasure of the President.

Correct. A Court-Martial will not look in any way at the President’s birth certificate. All they will care about is if the order was signed by proper authority. If so, then the LTC is guilty.

If I were on the Board, I would find him guilty and sentence him as appropriate.

Except that what Lakin is doing isn't legal. That's why he'll be prosecuted for disobeying orders.

What's sad about this situation is that Lakin has been duped into believing that some Internet rumors are facts. I read his letter on American Thinker explaining his reasons for his actions. Unfortunately, some (not all) of the facts he cited as evidence are not facts at all but rather reguritated talking points from the birther narrative. He's putting his career and retirement benefits on the line without checking his facts.

Suppose a soldier had refused to obey the orders of GWB sending him to Iraq, based on the idea that GWB wasn’t the real President because the 2000 election was stolen by the SCOTUS.

Would you think he had a case?

The man is a patriot

No. This man is a patriot:

Face of Defense: Soldier, 79, Continues to Serve

Lakin, on the other hand, is a fool.

"Truthers are retarded."

I agree, but what does that have to do with whether or not Mr. Obama is a natural born citizen and therefore eligible to be president?
