LTC decides to end his career and refuse deployment
Shades of Stefan Cook, the Army Times reports that Army flight surgeon Lt. Col. Terrence Lakin has announced that he’d rather be a political tool than an Army officer by refusing to deploy because the President won’t show Lakin his birth certificate.
“I am today compelled to make the distasteful choice to invite my own court-martial, in pursuit of the truth about the president’s eligibility under the constitution to hold office,” Lakin said in a YouTube video being circulated by Safeguard Our Constitution, an organization raising money for Lakin’s legal defense.
“If he is ineligible, I believe my orders and all orders are illegal,” said Lakin, 45. “Any reasonable person looking at the evidence in the public domain would have questions about President Obama’s claim to be a natural-born citizen.”
Lakin has been in the Army 18 years, is assigned to an Army health clinic at the Pentagon, and he is a recipient of the Bronze Star and various service medals.
It looks to me as if the Army has a problem in their medical department. First Army doctor Nidal Hasan shoots 14 people at Fort Hood after some politically correct medical officers handed him off between themselves and now this half-wit thinks he has a point. Oh, and did I mention that Army Capt. Connie Rhodes, who tried the same antics last year was also a doctor? Well, she is.
It’s beyond me why Army officers think that the same behavior endorsed by IVAW and countless other hippie organizations will result in something legal. I’ve written countless times in regards to Cook and Rhodes, this doesn’t help us win the war against terror, and all of this ancillary bullshit doesn’t help the good order and discipline in the military as a whole. Winning that war is more important than anything else we do – everything else is bullshit. As long as the President is still fighting that war and supporting the troops, these pretend patriots who hide behind the Constitution are wrong, wrong, wrong.
Get a real issue, for fuck’s sake.
