If he respected the office, the citizenry and the military he would prove his qualifications and end the speculation forever.
Were I in the military today I would do the same thing and take the same action even if I had to go to jail. The fact that you don't challenge Obama on the same grounds, but argue with those who do, is a source of puzzlement for me, but hey, have at it.
There are several million active duty, reserve, and retired service men and women in this country. Only a dozen or so have pursued Obama's eligibility in the courts and only one that I'm aware of has courted a court martial over it. Whatever concerns the rest of the military personnel may have over Obama's eligibility, it isn't affecting their ability to perform their duties.
Were I in the military today I would do the same thing and take the same action even if I had to go to jail.
And if I were still in the military today I would recommend the same course of action for you that the military has taken with Lakin.
The fact that you don't challenge Obama on the same grounds, but argue with those who do, is a source of puzzlement for me, but hey, have at it.
What I may think about Obama's eligibility or lack there-of is irrelevant to the topic of discussion. We're talking about military officers who take it upon themselves to decide what orders are legal and what are not. I did not agree with Huet-Vaughan or Watada or New when they did it, I do not agree with Lakin either. Good order and discipline require that servicemen obey the orders of their superior officer. Lakin didn't do that and Obama's eligibility doesn't change the facts of the case. Obama could be found ineligible and removed from office tomorrow, and Lakin would still be guilty of disobeying his brigade commander and of missing movement. Why is that so hard to understand?
