Gondring your premise does not apply to Larkin’s case. As far as I know we’re not talking about all or even any (in the general sense) chain of command officers. We’re talking only about one and he is the Usurper-in-Chief, The Marxist Barak Obama. Moreover, the fact is he’s never provided a credible proof of being a native born American.

It’s very easy for this problem to be resolved. All Onada needs to do is call a press conference-something he likes to do anyway so long as no hard questions are asked—and produce a credible document. What could possibly be so hard about that? Unless the document does not exist.

In any case, you think it makes perfect sense for a soldier fighting in Afghanistan to take direction from Arab-looking person with an accent, wearing a US uniform displaying senior rank whom he’s never seen before?

Barry's suits don't have rank displayed. **snicker**

But how does that resolve anything for Lakin?

It wouldn't change what Lakin's already done, or the charges he's facing. The court-martial would simply continue on exactly the same.

So you are questioning whether our top military officers are accepting and giving illegal orders? AFAIK, LTC never received a direct order from the CINC.
