Troops challenging the legitimacy of President Barack Obama as commander-in-chief -- including at least one who is fighting deployment -- should take heed: Gunnery Sgt. Hartman wants to know your "major malfunction."
R. Lee Ermey, the Marine-turned-actor whose role as drill instructor Gunny Hartman in the late Stanley Kubrick's "Full Metal Jacket" has all but placed the Vietnam veteran in the pantheon of Marine heroes alongside "Chesty" Puller, Smedley Butler and Dan Daly, isn't buying anyone's political objector status.
"I haven't heard about those guys," Ermey told Military.com during an Aug. 21 interview. "If I do run across them though, trust me, I'll square them away."

The cases are the first known instances of some troops joining what has become known as the "birther" movement, referring to Americans who doubt whether Obama is technically qualified to be president based on the absence of a "long form" birth certificate that documents where he was born.
Cook initially volunteered for deployment, but later refused the orders on grounds that Obama cannot deploy him because he is not legally president.

All other Presidents have provided these types of personal documents, why is 0bama not held to the same standard?
Now patch those holes on your leaking brain bucket, gunny.
Crap. Even Gunny Hartman’s drinking the Kool-Aid.
I live in Virginia, Mr. Ermey.
Please PM me if you wish further detail for a meeting to “square” me “away.”
Too long in the Hollywood sun...
You said — R. Lee Ermey, the Marine-turned-actor whose role as drill instructor Gunny Hartman in the late Stanley Kubrick’s “Full Metal Jacket” has all but placed the Vietnam veteran in the pantheon of Marine heroes alongside “Chesty” Puller, Smedley Butler and Dan Daly, isn’t buying anyone’s political objector status.

I like the old guy... LOL... He sounds just like a no-nonsense military type of guy... :-)
A phone call and $12.00 would make it all go away.
I’d still want to see the other things on your list.
Sorry, Gunny, but your middle of the road politics aren’t what we need right now.
Being a political moderate or apolitical may be great while in uniform following orders but not for civilians who must think and decide for themselves.
And, FWIW Gunny, you may have time in grade and time in life on me but you don’t outrank me.
Maybe roaddog727 needs to introduce himself to Ermey!
I would bet that if Gunny had been following this issue like the rest of us he may have a different view.The Gunny respects the constitutuion whereas the O does not.
From what I just read on another thread, Obama isn’t a legal President because his FATHER was a British Citizen. Blamo. No go historically. Chester Aurthur wasn’t legal either, but he successfully HID his birth Parentage.

Wait, can we set Ermey on OBAMA... now THAT would be doing a service to the Nation!
Yippie. Another actor telling the world how to behave.
Just because he's wrong doesn't mean you can't like him. Heck, I even like you.
Where’s Vincent D’Onofrio when we need him? ROFL
:-)
Retired SSgt Ermey, I EARNED GySGt the old fashion way did you?
Careful marine. At your age, your mouth starts writing checks your ass might not be able to cash
