whether the order is legitimate

I believe this is (should be) the entire basis of his suit. An illegitmate potus cannot issue a legitimate order.

Officers are not sworn to follow any order. They swear to follow legal orders of proper authority appointed over them.

I remember this became a big deal after the My Lai massacre. If a soldier is ordered to machine gun a village of civilians into burial trenches- is that a legitimate order?

Is obama a proper authority - or not? Being inaugurated by swearing a false oath- does not make him a proper authority.

Especially an order that could lead the officer to kill others, and face his own death.

If his situation does not confer "standing" on basis of potential injury (a criteria used to bounce many of the other petitioners out of court for lack of standing) - I cannot imagine what could.

maybe the legal course that needs to proceed is a military officer suing Congress, the Electors or any other federal officials who inaugurated and thus appointed obama as potus without proper proof of his constitutional eligibilty to hold the office.

Let’s call in Pelosi et al to certify their diligence in ascertaining obama’s eligibilty.

An illegitmate potus cannot issue a legitimate order.

Obama did not issue an order to Lakin. His brigade commander and two other superior officers did.
