Thank you for your afterbirther perspective.

Excuse me, but who are you to tell me I am ‘out of control’ when a poster who purports to be a soldier doesn’t even know what his Oath of office is ? And then bolts from any discussion of it. Maybe you didn’t read HIS idea of his oath as an alleged soldier? NOT A WORD about the Constitution that is part of every officers and every enlisted soldier’s oath. I suspect he’s not in the Army; if he is, he should go back and review the Oath he did take.

Both Oaths, officers and enlisted, begin with “support and defend the Constitution of the United States.” Enlisted goes on about obeying orders of the POTUS and officers. Officers’ oath for good reason doesn’t have that obeying orders language. Nary a word about the president.

I would not have advised Lakin to pursue the path he is on, but that was his decision. I suspect he’s been in the Army longer than our friend has been alive. He knows the entire drill, and chose this path. He has, in fact, already done a tour in Afghanistan. I don’t know what ‘real soldiers’ you’ve spoken to who have divined Col Lakin’s mental processes in coming to a career-ending decision, but those military officers I know think similarly to Lakin about the eligibility of the sitting POTUS, but have not been willing to let their careers be destroyed by challenging it.

Your insults were unwarranted, your opinions are unimpressive. I’ll send you a note when LTC Lakin is convicted, as he surely will be.

Refer to Post#144. Let’s say that all of that turns out to be true and an Indonesian passport is discovered. LTC Lakin will still be guilty, BHO will still be the POTUS, and will remain so until removed by the Senate through the process of impeachment.

You and all the others who want to conjure up some other extra Constitutional process to rescue you from this mess can continue to beat your heads against the wall.

It seems for those Bradly Manning look-a-like posters that they are more concern about their personal career than what really is good for the country and the Constitution!!!
