   If I may ask, I don’t particularly understand the fixation over Mr. Lakin. As a navy veteran the chain of command has to be followed unless there is a direct illegal order (like your CO tells you to shoot civilians). However, as a member of the military, you don’t have the right to decide what is legal and illegal. The same argument was used by draft dodgers during the Vietnam conflict and others today that did not want to deploy to Iraq. Mr. Obama may not be a natural born citizen or perhaps he is, that point is irrelevant to this case. It does not matter why Mr. Lakin did not want to deploy with his unit who I may add was short a doctor in a war zone. Why should someone who was deploying to Iraq under George bush be prosecuted when they said their orders were “illegal” and Mr. Lakin should have no consequences? It’s perfectly appropriate to question the President when you are out of the military. Mr. Lakin should have resigned his commission and spoke out. You don’t see how the entire military would break down instantly if every individual soldier and sailor could pick and choose what orders to follow for political
   reasons? If someone can assuage my concerns on what I am talking about specifically when it comes to Mr. Lakin I would appreciate it. I just worry it undermines our stretched military with a bad precedent of supporting desertion.

   Post Script,

   I watched the video posted. I’m nit trying to be critical but what does any of that have to do with Mr.Lakins failure to deploy with his unit? What would his reasons for not going matter? Again, many said that Nixon bombing Cambodia was illegal and that they could not follow illegal orders. What would have happened if the Navy Seals who killed Osama Bin Laden refused to deploy because they would be flying into Pakistani air space which can be argued is “illegal.” I just worry about the slippery slope created here… Orly, what do you think? Or anyone else? I understand wanting to get Obama out of office, but is this the right way to do it?

   Chris F, I don’t believe you were ever in the Navy. If you really were, it’s the people like you who had a moral and ethical system based on mounting inside-out, upside-down morality and soap opera logic that made it the confused U.S. Military that I left behind.

   Vietnam was vacated due to a new era of indecisive and ‘free love’ thinking that began in the streets of the USA. Gulf 1 was won by superior planning and weaponry, Gulf 2 likewise, with a coalition force. The lineage of U.S. Presidents overseeing these ops were all legitimate under the U.S. Constitution and furthermore, they were not enshrouded with personal felonious history-as tirelessly outlined on orlytaitzesq.com-to obtain, and hold, their public office. While there were various public protests over these conflicts, it was over the military cause and not compound, severe, legal transgressions of the civilian Commander in Chief. He was, in those eras, observed to uphold the U.S. Constitution, its Judeo/Christian values, and
   was not subversively deferential to a Muslim system that seeks to destroy us.

   As for Pakistan, you show a need for learning that only long-term, personal suffering can grow: Bin Laden attacked U.S. citizens in peacetime on U.S. soil in a crude and torturous way. Any fourth grader could be proxy U.S. President for a day and issue the order. It took no hero as the D.O.D. goal was clear and assumed for years.

   Slippery Slope. A military strategy bent on soap opera analysis melds right and wrong together where the two become one and readily interchange. A lie says to truth, “I’ll be truthful with you if you be truthful with me.” Thinking on these lines is incorrect; it disassembles and destroys and the institutions that taught it know so.
