U.S. military officials say that the Army will courtmartial a lieutenant colonel who refuses to deploy to Afghanistan because he considers orders from President Obama to be "illegal".The Huffington Post has a little more:
Army doctor Lieutenant Colonel Terry Lakin believes Obama does not meet the constitutional requirements to be president and commander-in-chief, because he believes (incorrectly) that Obama wasn't born in the United States. Lakin refused this week to report to Fort Campbell, Kentucky for deployment to Afghanistan, but instead showed up at the Pentagon, where he was confronted by his brigade commander Colonel Gordon Roberts, a Vietnam Medal of Honor recipient. Lakin was informed by Roberts that he would face a courtmartial, and his Pentagon building pass and government laptop computer were seized.
Lieutenant Colonel Terry Lakin, an Army physician, has refused to obey any orders from his commanding officers, including President Obama, until the President produces his birth certificate.
"Any reasonable person, looking critically at the evidence currently in the public domain, would have questions about President Obama's claim to be a natural-born citizen," Lakin says in a video released the right-wing American Patriot Foundation. "I will disobey my orders to deploy to Afghanistan because I, and I believe all servicemen and -women and the American people, deserve the truth about President Obama's constitutional eligibility to the office of the presidency and the commander in chief." Lakin says this marks the first time during his eighteen years in the Army that he has chosen to disobey "what I believe are illegal orders". Evidently he didn't feel the need to personally verify the citizenship of his three previous commanders-in-chief.
Rico says there's some right-wing video on the subject:
