As some one who has been spit upon while in uniform, I must say that the members of the military that support what this country is doing to this Brave Officer in his quest to determine if Obama is actually eligible to give orders to our military are in fact pissing on the very Constitution they have swore upon their honor to protect.

And for hate’s sake I would spit my last breath at them...

I don’t spit on the US military either. Just like I don’t sell my kids to the zoo, even though I sometimes feel like it.

Most people in the military are good people and they have my utmost respect. There are things the leadership has done for which I have contempt. That is what I am saying.

I would never spit on anybody. Even people within the military who make an honorable man (who is sacrificing as much as anybody in the military has ever sacrificed) grovel before a judge to convince her that right is wrong and wrong is right. That information was new to me and I cannot think of anything more disgusting to ask of an honorable, truthful man. It’s like hearing the latest great torture technique, sort of took me aback a bit.

Seems like people are misunderstanding what I said. For the sake of peace will you please take the offending post down? I only meant to say how utterly disgusted I am at the thought of the leadership forcing an honorable, truthful man to grovel before a lying Denise Lind trying to convince her that up is down.

In zillion's defense, I think this has just gotten overly emotional. I see this from time to time when people are confronted by the law not saying what they believe is common sense. There's not even anyone to protest to because they're up against abstract logic. People feel an innate need to personalize their sense of outrage. That inevitably leads to focusing on the wrong target, and they say things they really don't mean.

I would just say to butter that it's not the military unfairly trying to wreck Lakin. I know you believe strongly that your suspicions of Obama’s legitimacy should mean Lakin’s orders were not lawful. But that's not what the law says. And it's not Lind. Any military judge would have made the exact same ruling, as all the people with experience here said. And Puckett is not trying to sell out Lakin. He's trying to do what he can for Lakin by conceding the charge that is hopeless to fight while litigating the one that has a technicality to pick at. That's his job.

I've cautioned you before to be careful about the personal investment you make in issues you can't control and for which you may not have the complete understanding you presume. That is a guaranteed recipe for self agitation.

It's okay if you don't like what is happening to Lakin. You are entitled to that opinion. But for your own sake, try to appreciate that it is simply one man's misfortune. He chose the wrong vehicle to try and pursue this issue. However sad it may seem, it is not the end of the world.
