The military had almost 2 years to give Lakin answers before he realized they were never going to give him answers.
Why did the SecDef not file a Quo Warranto case on behalf of all his officers who didn’t know whether to obey orders from Obama, or from Joe Biden? Did the SecDef just take it in his own hands, to interpret the 20th Amendment? I thought the military wasn’t supposed to do that. I thought the military was supposed to refer any legal questions like that to the civilian courts. Why didn’t they do that? They had almost 2 years and did NOTHING, ZIP, ZERO, NADA.
If the military leadership would stop fellating the people who promote them, maybe we’d have some real men to represent the real men who are doing our fighting.
Perhaps because the SecDef was satisfied that Obama was the president? Thought that that was up to the voters and Congress and that they seemed to have made a decision? Doesn't matter. Doesn't have anything to do with the charge against Lakin.
But in any case, you haven't answered my question: what's the alternative? How does the military operate when any officer can refuse their orders because they doubt the president's eligibility? Do you really think that would work in practice? Can you answer that?
