WASHINGTON An Army flight surgeon could face reprimand or dismissal from the service after stating in an online video that hell refuse deployment to Afghanistan because of concerns he has about President Barack Obamas birth certificate.
Lt. Col. Terrence Lakin, chief of primary care for the Pentagons health clinic, released a statement through the American Patriot Foundation saying his decision is based on pursuit of the truth about the presidents eligibility under the constitution to hold office. Army officials said Lakin has not yet violated any direct orders, but his statements have been brought to commanders attention for review.
Lakin, an 18-year soldier, last served overseas in 2005 during a tour with the 3rd Squadron, 4th Cavalry Squadron, 25th Infantry Division in Afghanistan . Questions surrounding Obamas birth certificate surfaced during the 2008 election, but were largely put to rest after Hawaii officials confirmed his American citizenship and the campaign released a copy of the document.
But over the last two years fringe groups have maintained public campaigns and court challenges in an attempt to prove Obamas ineligibility to hold the presidency. Last summer, a Georgia court dismissed such arguments in a similar case by an Army major (Army Maj. Stefan Cook), refusing deployment...

Soon after Cook filed his lawsuit challenging the legitimacy of his deployment, the Army ruled that since he volunteered to go to Afghanistan, he was within his rights to change his mind. No lawsuit was needed. In fact, said Lt. Col. Maria Quon, a spokeswoman for Army Human Resources Command, he just had to call or e-mail.
On July 14, the commanding general of Special Operations Command Central formally revoked Cooks orders. Two days later, a Georgia court dismissed the case.
CENTCOM spokesman Lt. Cmdr. Bill Speaks said, calling Cooks claims a bizarre conspiracy theory. Suffice to say [that revoking the orders] is certainly not an acknowledgement or validation in any way of his claims, Speaks said.

The country is at war with itself.
If in Kenya as Grandma Sarah said, then was his Mother actually married to her husband (he was still married to another woman). So......is oBama eligible for the Presidency under the Constitution?
Right on to this Flight Surgeon.
That was brilliant. Cheers......
Well said.
I wonder when Obama is going to decide that it might be easier just to make a phone call to Hawaii and release the documents we all have a right to see.
Never, because he would be outing himself that he is ineligible to be squatting in the White House. Along with having the foreign national father that is already known.
Bump Great graphic.
Somewhere overseas. The Honolulu Advertiser thought he was born in Indonesia in 2006. *snicker*
I know it won’t happen ///
but if we just had 100 more ...
or it was on the back of every dollar bill in the nation
