An order to deploy to the Pentagon is perfectly legal, and order to deploy to Afghanistan is illegal? There's a specific "foreign country" exception in the UCMJ? I am agog, do tell.
U.S. citizens are legally present in the U.S. They are not necessarily legally present in other countries. What does the UCMJ say about illegally authorized U.S. troops occupying other countries?

Oh. That's interesting, I thought Lakin was troubled by his oath. Somebody posted upthread that Oh, wait - that was you! And so now it's a matter of legal repercussions in Afghanistan. I see.
You really can't make the connection between the Constitution, who is Constituionally eligible to serve as CIC, and therefore who is legitimately able to authorize military deployment to foreign countries? Really???
Yes he does. U.S. law does not negate the biological father's rights. That's why Obama, et al, admit Obama was born subject to the British Nationality Act of 1948.
No, he doesn't. US law with regards to citizenship observes US law ONLY. We don't care what other nations do, or how they assign citizenship. We only care about US laws. So, no, US law does not negate Obama, Sr's rights. US law just doesn't give a rat's tail what British law has to say about the citizenship of Obama, Sr's children, including Obama Jr.
What an odd statement. Not everyone has 'the right' to natural born citizen status, hence the separate distinctions of 'citizen' and 'natural born citizen.'
What separate distinctions are you talking about? The ones defined in US Legal Code? Not there. The ones defined by US Federal Court decisions. Don't exist. You may want the law to make distinctions, but unfortunately for you it doesn't. Vattel may make distinctions. But that's not US law. No laws in the United States make such a distinction. The only distinction is between citizens and naturalized citizens. Which would make the case legally that precedence in American jurisprudence would indicate that all citizens who did not have to go through a naturalization process would be considered natural-born citizens. Especially those born on American soil. Because when citizenship has come into question, the jus soli arguments have prevailed over and over again in American federal courts.
Deep. Now try answering the question. Was the order to deploy to the Pentagon legal?

You tell me - as I said, I'm excited ti hear about this specific overseas rule in the UCMJ. Fascinated, you might say. I was so hoping you'd be able to cite it.

As I said, pick a narrative. Was Lakin's refusal to deploy based on his oath of service or of fear of Afghan legal consequences? You've stated both.
No, he doesn't. US law with regards to citizenship observes US law ONLY. We don't care what other nations do, or how they assign citizenship.
Incorrect. There is a Constitutional eligibility requirement to serve as POTUS and CIC. The Constitutional eligibility clause's meaning and intent is defined in Jay's letter. Obama, et al, admit Obama was born a Brit, as they admit he was subject to the British Nationality Act of 1948.
