Even if Lakin were to prove that Obama is not eligible to serve as President, he would still be just as guilty under military law.

Not really. The orders were issued as part of an overall directive from the White House. Lakin's superiors weren't arbitrarily issuing these orders independent of the CinC's strategy on Afghanistan. The affadavit from Gen. McInerny suggests the foundation of all orders is impacted directly by Obama's lack of eligibility.

Two of the counts charge that Lakin refused to obey the orders of his superior officer to report to the office of his brigade commander. A third count was refusing to obey the order of a superior officer to report for temporary duty with the 101st. Are you saying Obama originated all those orders? Or that the brigade commander cannot order one of his own officers to report to his office? You, and Lakin, will have a difficult if not impossible time proving that at his court martial.

Exactly!!!

The military wants this to be about their orders only -- but their orders are meaningless outside of the chain of command which requires a legal CiC.
