Lt. Col. Lakin to face court martial

Lt. Col. Terry Lakin, MD is to face a court martial for his refusal to obey deployment orders, pending proof that it is a lawful order, issued by a commander in chief who meets the constitutional requirements of office. Dr. Lakin explained his refusal in an article published April 8th on American Thinker.

Army doctor Lt. Col. Terrence Lakin yesterday met with his brigade commander, Col. Gordon R. Roberts, who proceeded to read LTC Lakin his Miranda rights, and who informed LTC Lakin he had the "right to remain silent" because LTC Lakin is about to be charged with serious crimes. Col. Roberts was at age 19 awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor, the only recipient of the nation's highest honor currently on active duty in the Army.

LTC Lakin had previously been ordered in writing to report yesterday to Ft. Campbell, KY and then on to deploy for his second tour of duty in Afghanistan. Lakin refused to obey these orders and instead came to work yesterday morning at the Pentagon. Late yesterday afternoon he was confronted by his brigade commander.

Before the meeting was over, LTC Lakin's Pentagon Access Pass had been revoked, and his laptop computer was set to be confiscated.

The message to LTC Lakin is clear; through official channels, he was informed yesterday that he will shortly be court-martialled for crimes (specifically, missing movement and conduct unbecoming an officer) that for others has led to lengthy imprisonment at hard labor.

Lakin has announced in a YouTube video that has now been viewed more than 110,000 times that he considers it his duty to refuse to obey orders that would be illegal if President Obama is ineligible to hold office.

even if true that obama's a manchurian kenyan hopi indian free-thinking shriner muslim - and it isn't - orders don't come at the direction of the CiC, but rather the personnel office on the authority of the base commander.

he's about to lose his ass.
idiot.

How dare you speak of a true patriot that way.

So, he was fine going to Afghanistan the first time? What's the difference now?

Nagger in charge?

Yes, technically. Officers in the military are commisioned. That commission is by the President of the United States. Therefore, they use that as an argument about refusal to follow orders of the President. And technically, the personnel orders that are issued are by line authority, but assumed to be by direction of the CiC. It's a long stretch to make that argument at a courts martial.

so it seems to me the "responsible" thing to do is refuse *every* order, or just resign one's commission.

see? the muslims *are* winning.

Too bad we're not in a declared "war", as we're often reminded. They could take him out for good..

Art. 90. Assaulting or willfully disobeying superior commissioned officer

Any person subject to this chapter who— (1) strikes his superior commissioned officer or draws or lifts up any weapon or offers any violence against him while he is in the execution of his office; or (2) willfully disobeys a lawful command of his superior commissioned officer; shall be punished, if the offense is committed in time of war, by death or such other punishment as a court-martial may direct, and if the offense is committed at any other time, by such punishment, other than death, as a court-martial may direct.

But they will use these and plea it down to lesser offenses:

Art. 92. Failure to obey order or regulation

Any person subject to this chapter who— (1) violates or fails to obey any lawful general order or regulation; (2) having knowledge of any other lawful order issued by a member of the armed forces, which it is his duty to obey, fails to obey the order; or (3) is derelict in the performance of his duties;
shall be punished as a court-martial may direct.

Art. 133. Conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman

Any commissioned officer, cadet, or midshipman who is convicted of conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman shall be punished as a court-martial may direct.

Art. 134. General article

Though not specifically mentioned in this chapter, all disorders and neglects to the prejudice of good order and discipline in the armed forces, all conduct of a nature to bring discredit upon the armed forces, and crimes and offenses not capital, of which persons subject to this chapter may be guilty, shall be taken cognizance of by a general, special, or summary court-martial, according to the nature and degree of the offense, and shall be punished at the discretion of that court

or they may choose to make an example out of him...

or they may choose to make an example out of him...

If they do, they need to throw this one out and shut all the birthers in the military up for good:

Art. 88. Contempt toward officials

Any commissioned officer who uses contemptuous words against the President, the Vice President, Congress, the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of a military department, the Secretary of Homeland Security, or the Governor or legislature of any State, Territory, Commonwealth, or possession in which he is on duty or present shall be punished as a court-martial may direct.

String him up. Not for sedition or treason or conduct unbecomingor any other category this might fall under, but for being fvcking retarded.

 

[valve bouncer]

I'm the same with this as I was with the pacifist soldiers during Shrub's tenure. If they don't wanna go, toss 'em out on their ear and be done with them.

I think they can only do that in Texas, though.
