And by the way he HAS THE RIGHT TO DUE PROCESS UNDER THE UCMJ.

Mr. Easterling has made that a rather straightforward process, by saying the following: "Until Mr. Obama releases a 'vault copy' of his original birth certificate for public review, I will consider him neither my Commander in Chief nor my President, but rather, a usurper to the Office – an impostor."

Any commissioned officer who uses contemptuous words against the President, the Vice President, Congress, the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of a military department, the Secretary of Transportation, or the Governor or legislature of any State, Territory, Commonwealth, or possession in which he is on duty or present shall be punished as a court-martial may direct.

His likely punishments for the latter may include "dismissal, forfeiture of all pay and allowances, and confinement for 1 year." Not to mention the possibility of punishments for the more severe violations.

I think Mr. Easterling is in for a rather unpleasant lesson in what "civilian control of the military" is all about. He brought it on himself.

This might easily be considered an Article 94 violation (mutiny or sedition); is probably an Article 92 violation (he is at least threatening to fail to obey orders); and it is quite clearly an Article 88 violation:

I disagree with you. IF the current President PROVES that HE IS QUALIFIED to BE the President, THEN if the Lt. refuses to obey orders he is in violation of his Oath and the Articles cited.

However, IF the current President IS NOT the legal and lawful President, the Lt. would be violating the law if he obeyed him.

If a police car pulls you over on the highway, you expect the man driving the vehicle to be a police officer. You expect him to show you a badge if you question him. If he IS a police officer, you do as he asks. However, just because the car has flashing lights does not mean that the driver is a duly sworn officer of the law. It could be that someone stole the car, stole a policeman's uniform and is pulling vehicles over to the side of the road to kill the people in the vehicle. The person being pulled over has a right to know if the man wearing the badge is a duly sworn officer of the law or if he is a fraud wearing a policeman's uniform.

Same for the man wearing a Military Uniform. Is the "CIC" a natural born citizen or is he a fraud claiming to be something he knows he's not?
