Thats nonsense, if Obama was found ineligible. His orders to deploy need not be obeyed. If fact, probably SHOULD NOT be obeyed. This is a basic cornerstone of Nurnberg. No obligation whatsoever to follow illegal orders.
A brigade commander has no legal authority to attack a country. He only can do so upon the orders of the CIC, who does possess war-fighting powers. If the CIC is illegal,, the commanders orders are void.
It is called the fruit of the poison tree. It is found in search and seizure issues. It’s a legal concept widely defended in our law.
It’s rather extremist to suggest that a soldier being ordered to his possible death, cannot challenge the legitimacy of those who demand it.
He is brave enough to ask for mere proof, and risk consequences. His coward leaders should be as brave as he.
And is that claim based on something other than your opinion? If so, what?

Actually that legal concept has nothing to do with Lakin's situation. Link. Unless, of course, Lakin or the prosecution use illegal means to gather their evidence.

Blood-thirsty hyperbole aside, you keep forgetting that the order he's charged with disobeying is his brigade commander's. Not Obama's.
Colonel Gordon Roberts might have been brave under fire. But if he does not turn *up the chain* and say “some of my men question whether their commander in chief is an American and deserve proof”,,,, then his bravery seems to be restricted to the battlefield.
