I am probably going to be slammed some for saying this, but I am not going to be in such a hurry to agree with this guys actions. If this happened under George Bush, and we had a soldier who said Bush is not the legal president because he stole the election, so he's not following orders to deploy, we would not be jumping to his defense.
We have had more than one who would not deploy because they thought Iraq was an illegal war - case in point Fort Lewis soldier Lt. Ehren Watada.

The UCMJ is designed to maintain discipline and order in the military, despite who the CIC is.

“If this happened under George Bush, and we had a soldier who said Bush is not the legal president because he stole the election, so he’s not following orders to deploy, we would not be jumping to his defense.”

Different situation. Whether Bush or Gore won, they are Americans. This soldier is questioning his President’s citizenship, and therefore his eligibility.

I just hope we don't all get caught in the swirl when he circles down the drain.

It’s going to be up to “we the people” to take back our country from these quislings.

Is it true that Obama was on the Senate Intel. Committee? If so, did he have a background check, and wouldn't that background check answer the question of his birth place?

You don’t need to be a NBC to be a senator or get a clearance.

I understand your point and I should agree but I will applaud anything that gets this fraud out of our highest office

Bush's case went all the way to the Supreme Court. No court has even agreed to look at Obama's eligibility, so there is a HUGE difference between the two cases.

Also...I am not an attorney, but from reading the court documents it appears that officer is not refusing to obey orders. He is **respectfully** asking for clarification of the legality of the order.

True, but there would still be a background check and it would have that info, wouldn't it? If so, then someone knows if he is a NBC. Unfortunately, the person/people who know are not leaking; seems leaks only come when a Republican/Conservative is involved.

Agreed.

This guy is definitely in a conscientious conundrum however.

As you alluded, conservatives are generally law-and-order types; so this guy doesn’t appear to be a (true) conservative.

If he were liberal - or course, he would not be making this point.

If he’s an independent, you’d think he wouldn’t care one way of the other...

As an Iraq vet I must put my 2 cents in....
