You can disagree with what he's doing, but you can't disagree that he has convictions, honor, integrity, courage and intelligence. Certainly more so than 99.99% of those who are making flippant and baseless charges against him. Obama has deep trouble maintaining loyalty in those under him who don't demand privileges, favortism and financial gain.

Actually I would assert this moron "doctor" is usurping hte chain of command in a time of war and is a personal coward.

Line him up with a cigarette and take him behind the barn.

No kidding they are not "dumb automatons", they are trained professionals. In situations under duress there is no time to hash things out with a cup of coffee around a conference table. You need to act and react to orders without question or people die.
3 years. Army artillery officer. Desert Storm Vet.

And since I was legally responsible for the rounds I fired or called for, you can be quite sure I was aware of what the Laws of Land Warfare were. If I was given an order I felt may violate those laws, particularly one that would result in mass civilian casualties, I probably would question it before following through.

As a vet, I'm surprised you would see it so different. What was your Branch and MOS??

This yahoo is a disgrace to his country and should be dishonorably discharged.

As an Army Retiree and veteran of multiple tours in Vietnam, I can only agree. This coward needs to be tried for Mutiny and and those who aid him should be tried for Inciting Mutiny in Time of WAR. Sedition at the least

Yes, I can disagree with his "convictions" - this is, at least, conduct unbecoming an officer.

Can you provide some links to your assertion about Obama, or are you simply presenting your opinion?
Where do you get this 99.99% number? Is it something that you can link to?

I've read that Lakin has been assigned to Walter Reid, my question is
why is he not disobeying this order as well if he really believes President
Obama is not eligible?

'Cause he prefers the cushy bearth in D.C. to the dangers of war. He was there once before and didn't like it as much as he does D.C. So, rather than admit he is a coward and pay the Army back for his education, he latches on to this lame excuse......knowing there are some ignorant idiots who will buy anything....as long as it is against the President. These same idiots would have wanted his guts for garters if he had refused to go to Iraq because he thought it was an illegal war while Bush was President. Cowards and hypocrites make quite a team.

Well, I don't think of the guy is a coward, nor do I do see him as a disgrace to the uniform or the country. But if you said that he is delusional, a hysterical fruitcake, a victim of neurotic paranoia... I probably agree.
