It isn’t his call. Bullsh!t. Yes it is. You DARE call yourself a Veteran, and seemingly know not the words DUTY and SACRIFICE. Lt Col Lakin took an Oath:
"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." (Title 10, US Code; Act of 5 May 1960 replacing the wording first adopted in 1789, with amendment effective 5 October 1962).NO WHERE in that Oath sworn to God himself, especially before the word "President", are the words:

To defend the Constitution.
Now, tell me the clause in the Constitution giving the LTC authority to determine eligibility.
The “de factor officer” doctrine:
The de facto officer doctrine confers validity upon acts performed by a person acting under the color of official title even though it is later discovered that the legality of that person’s appointment or election to office is deficient. Norton v. Shelby County, 118 U.S. 425, 440, 6 S.Ct. 1121, 1124, 30 L.Ed. 178 (1886).
“The de facto doctrine springs from the fear of the chaos that would result from multiple and repetitious suits challenging every action taken by every official whose claim to office could be open to question, and seeks to protect the public by insuring the orderly functioning of the government despite technical defects in title to office.” 63A Am.Jur.2d, Public Officers and Employees § 578, pp. 1080-1081 (1984)
Get’m BP. It is target rich environment!

That is not the oath administered to officers.
