A highly decorated 18-year Army veteran was officially charged with disobeying orders and dereliction of duty after refusing to be deployed to Afghanistan because he questions whether Barack Obama is eligible to be president.
Lieutenant Colonel Terrence Lakin, a senior physician with the United States Army, said that his deployment orders were invalid because the nation’s commander-in-chief has failed to prove that he was born in this country, CNN reports. Individuals who were not born in the U.S. cannot be elected president.
“I am not guilty of these charges, and will plead ‘not guilty’ to them because of my conviction that our commander-in-chief may be ineligible under the United States Constitution to serve in that highest of all offices,” said Lakin.
“If President Obama is a natural-born citizen, then the American people deserve to see proof, and if he is not, then I believe the orders in this case were illegal,” he added.Lakin, who entered a deferred plea at his court martial arraignment last week, is not alone in his skepticism as to whether Obama was born in Hawaii, as he and the state have claimed. The news source reports that as many as 25 percent of Americans question whether Obama was born in the U.S................................what do you think???????????????

Re: Army Doctor Refuses Deployment, Doubts Obama’s Birthplace
My two bits for what it's worth is this. While I in no way like this PoS we have in office the Colonel is wrong here and he's very lucky he's not being charged with Mutiny. Being a 10 year vet myself you're governed by the UCMJ and not by the Constitution. You loose a number of rights and privileges while serving to protect the Constitution. UNTIL Obama is proven to not eligible to hold the Office of President ALL service members are bound to follow their orders given. While serving you cannot sue the government and you also cannot use your position/rank in any political causes period.
Bottom line is this, he's lucky he's not being charged with Mutiny and shot.

I would really like to see it resolved also. It would show that the people still have a voice in their governing.

Well. I'd say: "Let's settle this once and for all". No more smoke and mirrors. This man, if proven correct, would be taking the right action by refusing to serve here.
