Maryland Politics: Update: Birther colonel gets six months - Politics and Policy from Baltimore, Annapolis and Washington - baltimoresun.com

An Army doctor convicted of disobeying orders to deploy to Afghanistan because he questioned whether Barack Obama was eligible to be president was sentenced to six months in a military prison. He also will be dismissed from the military, meaning he will forfeit a nearly $90,000 annual salary and a pension.

It;s a conspiracy, man. A conspiracy created by nuts. Innocent until proven more innocent. ROFL.

Refusing to go to war is not treason.

When he gets out he can work in a civilian hospital and get a raise.

You're right, refusing to obey orders and missing movement on the basis of a conspiracy theory based on wild speculation and outright lies, on the other hand, is a very serious offense. It isn't treason though.

Also, he made sure to take his paid leave before missing movement, though he knew he was going to. And the doctor that had to go in his place had about 48 hours to be ready, and wasn't fully prepared for a mass casualty that happened almost immediately after he got there.

Way to be a blue falcon, Lakin!

Probably a book deal and a movie of the week, too.

He got off easy. At least he's got six months to think about how he threw his future financial security away.

goes to show that using a conspiracy theory to basically whine, only is going to hurt you in the end.

Exactly.

If it was, so is refusing to be conscripted after one has been drafted. Which means millions of libs from the 60's and 70's should be in jail for treason.
