Because Lakin is a senior officer it is even more important to make an example of him. Guilty of missing movement and disobeying an order. Give him hard time and forfeiture of all pay and allowances.
Military court is not the place to solve political problems. We do not want the military to even appear to remove a President from office, which can only be done via impeachment or electoral defeat.
Ok, we’ve had our designated “one troll response”. Can we move on now to relevancy and sanity??
All military officers are sworn in to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United State of America. If Obama is not eligible to be President by the Constitution, then technically it is the responsibility of all military and government officers to stand up for what they believe is wrong. They should not fear being locked up for hard time like you suggest. Kind of sick.

Your argument does not hold water. All is based on the assumption Obama is legally qualified to hold office — if he is not the swearing in does not cure the problem.
Lakin is a hero. US military officers are charged with a very complex duty to follow all LEGAL orders...leaving it up to each and every officer of conscience to make a determination of the legality of the orders they receive.
Slavish adherence to illegal orders will not be a defense to criminal behavior.
Lakin is twisting in the wind right now and deserves the prayers and respect of all Christians and patriots.
Obama can’t produce the document and won’t—to Obama one man’s suffering is nothing.
On the contrary: Senators later found to not be U.S. citizens have been expelled from the Senate, and their names stricken from the record as though they had never existed. They were known as usurpers, and duly thrown out.
If a sitting President is later found to be ineligible, the usurper can only be removed by the U.S. House of Representatives. That political body has delegated their authority to remove a usurper to the District Court, Washington, D.C. The court action is known as Quo Warranto. The accused MUST prove he/she is eligible to hold the office of the President.
I agree with your point. But I remember that Army Sp. Michael G. New even today cannot get a civil review of his discharge
because the Army claims not all appeals have been processed.
Col Lakin is an American Hero and ought be a model for our
Military Officers. His brother rightly points out the LIE told
in Military Court that Obama is not responsible for the Order
That the Pentagon issued lawful order. Obama is not party to or relevant to the case. Obama has taken credit for the surge.If he is not party /nor relevant why is he CIC?
The military is sworn to uphold and protect the Constitution of the United States against all enemies (domestic and foreign). obama is not and never can be a Natural born citizen. If congress does not remove him by voiding( not impeachment) his election, then it is the duty of the military to remove him. It is a act of treason for Lakin or any other officer to follow the commands of obama.
I hope that this of your own belief is true and genuine, see above!
You see, our fellow Lt. Col. Terry Lakin has the exact same belief as millions of other true Americans have!!
Your comment after your tag-name is totally misleading and belongs rather on a site as DU, NOT on F.R., because it's NOT a political question, it's ONLY a CONSTITUTIONAL question that you yourself says you believe(?) in!!!
As a WWII vet at the lowest levels I am aware of the need for obedience to orders from above. I am fully apprciative of the rankings and authority of those above. However I strongly believe that our Constitution trumps actions of Presidents, laws of Congress, decicisions of Courts including the Supreme and last but not least the Military. All these entities have and at one time or another made their subservience to the Constitution questionable in the eyes of ‘We the People’ from whom all their powers are derived. Lakin’s case to me as one of the people is a complex mixture of what is said above.
