Under this logic, every person in the military can delay compliance with any order until they view the commission orders of all officers in their chain of command. Do you really want that?
If they had strong reasons to suspect that one of those officers was an imposter, say the total lack of any documentation about that officer's life etc, then yes they should ask for proof of theri legitimacy.
Here we have a commander-in-chief who has NO background whatsoever. No one remembers him at the schools he supposedly went to. No articles were ever written or posted by him, even though he claims to have done so. No proof of his birth has ever been produced. AND he has ACTIVELY fought against anyone knowing any of these things.
His behavior screams out that he is illegitimate (in more ways than one.
obama can solve this whole thing so easily y just releasing his birth certificate (which lists doctor and place of birth) and other life records. Why doesn't he? Because he's not a natural born citizen! What other possible reason for hiding his entire past is there? None!
