Remeber when Orly Taitz was the legal counsel representing the Reservist, Stefan Cook, who challenged his deployment orders . . . because he hadn’t seen President Obama’s birth certificate?  Well, we appear to have a copycat offender.  The difference is that this one is a little higher up (and, so far, Orly Taitz is no where to be seen).

According to MSNBCs first read,

From NBC’s Jim Miklaszewski and Mark Murray
U.S. military officials tell NBC News that the U.S. Army will court martial a lieutenant colonel who refuses to deploy to Afghanistan because he considers orders from President Obama to be “illegal.”

A little more digging, and it turns out that Army doctor Lt. Col. Terry Lakin has got a lot of street cred, or at least, he did.  Now, I don’t go around hanging out on right wing blogs, but some of the stuff of the stuff they listed you can’t fake (and no, Fox News, that is NOT a challenge).  Chief of Care and Flight Surgeon for centers and Staff Generals . . . .

But, he is getting court-martialed now.

What’s my take on this?  One of the comments at the Family Security Matters (ugh, I have a hard time typing that) website said it best:

I believe they call that insubordination. It’s my hope that he is relieved of duty, stripped of his rank and benefits and tossed in prison where he belongs for withholding treatment to wounded soldiers in a time of war.  I would have more respect for him if he had moral objections to the wars, but no, he wants to play the right-wing reindeer games instead.  I’m a veteran too, and when I was in, if you disobeyed a lawful order, you faced legal repercussions.

America is watching and noticing the breathtaking hypocrisy of the right wing elements in this country.There is nothing “patriotic” about the hatred and vitriol spewed on an almost nonstop basis by these type of people.

Face facts, you have a black President.

PS. Wanna see our President’s birth certificate?
