I know Karl Horst. Karl Horst is as hard as Woodpecker lips. I can’t say what he will do in this case, but he won’t put up with any nonsense. If I were LTC Lakin, I would be preparing for trial.

All of this is unfortunate. Lakin allowed someone to convince him that he could be the hero by finally providing the elusive standing that would unravel HRH Obama I. That was never going to happen. If the civilian courts wouldn’t touch it with a ten foot pole, whatever convinced him that the military justice system would go anywhere near it? So all that is left is disobedience of orders. Career down the tubes.

We shall see.

So many thugs .. so few bravehearts.

"Lakin allowed someone to convince him that he could be the hero"

Apparently you believe this LTC doctor is a pushover dimwit.

What makes you think that someone convinced him, as opposed to he (himself) coming to the conclusion that after seeking answers from his chain of command and his elected "representatives" as to weather or not Barry is NBC...and came up bubkis, that he didn't take it upon himself to go to this next level?

I have to agree, Col. Lakin was very poorly advised before proceeding to disobey orders, inviting a court martial and loss of all benefits from his 20+ years of service.

I believe he is completely sincere in the end he is pursuing, and believe also that there are Constitutional questions about Obama’s eligibility that apparently no one alive and in power today is willing to address properly. He will pay the consequences, and Obozo will still be sitting in the Oval Office while Col. Lakin could be doing time in Leavenworth.

It’s a sad day when the US has gotten to the point where our governance and ‘leadership’ is determined by celebrity, and who’s ‘cool,’ rather than the Constitution.

Very true.

I too was taught that there are unlawful and illegal orders, and you should fully resist them. What Lakin failed to do was determine the difference between them and how to resist.

You can, and are mandated, to refuse compliance with any illegal order.

An unlawful order, however, must be followed, and then reported up through the chain of command for resolution. If you can't report it as you are complying, you do so at the first opportunity.

Lakin is constructively AWOL - it will not end as he would wish.
