“Although some scoff, Lakin is acting “exactly” as “proper training dictates,” confirms retired Air Force Lt. Gen. Thomas G. McInerney, a Fox News military analyst who served as vice commander in chief of USAF forces in Europe.
Likewise, the former chief justice of the Alabama Supreme Court, Roy Moore, agrees Lakin “has every right to question the lawfulness of the orders of the commander in chief.”

Indeed, in an extraordinary affidavit he filed with the court in Lakin’s defense, McInerney, who also served as assistant vice chief of staff of the Air Force and commander of the 3rd Tactical Fighter Wing, made this bold statement:
The President of the United States, as the Commander in Chief, is the source of all military authority.
The Constitution requires the President to be a natural born citizen in order to be eligible to hold office. If he is ineligible under the Constitution to serve in that office, that creates a break in the chain of command of such magnitude that its significance can scarcely be imagined.
Adds McInerney: “Officers in the United States military service are – and must be – trained that they owe their highest allegiance to the United States Constitution.”
