It was also emphasized that if we were given a illegal order that we not only had the right to question the order but the DUTY to question the order and seek guidance from higher in the chain of command.

He has been ordered to deploy to Afghanistan. What is illegal about that order? Are you suggesting that the hundreds of thousands of men and women who have gone to Iraq and Afghanistan as ordered are following illegal orders and it it they who should be court martialled and not LCOL Lakin?

On the surface, there is nothing illegal about the order. it’s a routine deployment order.

But and it’s a huge BUT, if the President himself as Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces of the United States is in that position fraudulently then any and all orders (and Laws) initiated from his general orders to the Military need to questioned.

Clear up the question of his legality then all of this goes away. A bunch of people have egg and worse on their faces if he is proven to be Legitimate. So be it.

But if Obama is not in his position legitimately well then there is worse on his face than egg. EVERY action taken by him and in his name as CinC in his presidency will be scrutinized and have court challenge after court challenge.

But enough of that, the LtC feels that he is duty bound to question his orders. It is not for you or I to second guess him. Now it is up to the procedures in the UCMJ and his chain of command.

I believe that it is long past time to get this point cleared up.
