Hmmmm. I don't have an answer for this one, but obamalamadingdong could solve this real fast.

(Poll link halfway down story)

[dynachrome]

Interesting poll. Link is halfway down the story.

FREEP THIS POLL ***PING!*** FRmail me if you want to be added or removed from the Fearless Poll-Freeping Freepers Ping list. And be sure to ping me to any polls that need Freepin', if I miss them. (looks like a medium volume list) (gordongekko909, founder of the pinglist, stays on the list until his ghost signs up for the list)

Let’s hope that this sentiment spreads in our military like wildfire.

[NeoConfederate]

I hope this young man does not die in 0bama’s illegal war.

[4Speed]

He should have written his Congressman for Sure . . .but when American Citizens do not have standing in the SCOTUS . . .someone has to step forward who DOES have STANDING !
There is an old Navy law that protects military from court marshall on this protest.

[Tennessee Nana]

I think that each soldier would have to let his own conscience be his guide on this one...

[cripplecreek]

It’s a tough question and there is something missing.

Seems to me that a president has a greater duty to prove himself to the men who serve under him.

[Red_Devil 232]

Easterling is just trying to get publicity and he should be court martialed.

Oh Yes! And during the course of the Court Martial Zero would finally be compelled to produce a legitimate BC!

[Man50D]

The question is worded wrong. It should read:

Should a soldier if the person occupying the White House cannot or will not produce a birth certificate proving he is an American citizen?

[RetiredArmy]

THE SOLDIER SERVES THE REPUBLIC. NOT THE STINKING PRESIDENT.

[SWAMPSNIPER]

Can’t find a poll.

Poll FReeped

Many of the same people who elected Obama in 2008 spent the 'sixties & early 'seventies trying to convince me not to follow orders. They seem to be running the country today.
If I'd still been in, I would have refused Kosovo/FRY and taken the consequences.
Since SCOTUS has determined that no one else in the USA has standing to question our supremely secretive first bozo, maybe they'll have to admit that national defense gives it a bit more weight..?

I'm fine with turn about in this instance and I hope the Lt. isn't simply steamrolled.

[Islander7]

Yes, the oath is to protect and defend the Constitiution, not the Present of the US.

[Tallguy]

You’d have to be willing to stand a courtmartial & (probably) be convicted.

[toldyou]

Yes, a Soldier takes an oath to serve the nation and President Obama was duly elected. 1st Lt. Easterling is just trying to get publicity and he should be court martialed.
32%

If a Soldier in good conscience does not believe the president is constitutionally eligible to serve, he should not execute his duties and is right to protest the president’s orders.
22%

Easterling should continue to honor the dignity of his men by executing his orders as given. He should pursue other avenues to challenge the legitimacy of the president.
46%

[SECURE AMERICA]

Should a Soldier serve if he doesn’t believe the president is legitimate?
Yes, a Soldier takes an oath to serve the nation and President Obama was duly elected.

Well hold up a minute......
I, _____, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God.”

The FIRST thing that the soldier is swearing to is to support and defend the United States Constitution. At this point NO ONE knows the truth of Barack Obams birth status as it relates to the US Constitution. So things are not a clearcut or black and white as they should be....

[Krodg]

What an amazing push poll.

[usmcobra]

Sound the ping and call to arms ma
