The attorney representing an Army major fighting deployment to
Afghanistan because he believes Barack Obama is not legally his
commander-in-chief is declaring victory after the Soldier's orders were
revoked yesterday. (Military.com)
"Can you imagine what are the consequences? This is disastrous" for the
administration, she said. "We'll have no military. Because anytime any
Soldier, any Sailor, any Airman does not want to follow any orders, all
he has to do is call an attorney and say 'I don't want to follow this
order because I question the legitimacy of the commander in chief.' " (Military.com)

We blogged about this same issue last October and our opinion remains the same. This is so ridiculous, I personally have a military background and even though I disagree with President Obama, he is the commander in chief. In our oath of enlistment we state; "I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the
orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and
the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God."
The statement in paragraph 2 nails it right on the head. In our culture (military) of obey orders and keeping a uniform service, we can't have a bunch of GI's filing lawsuits because they questions Obama's birth.
Politifact's Amy Hollyfield's article
Obama's Birth Certificate: the Final Chapter provides the facts and debunks the "Conspiracy theory" that Obama is not a US Citizen. FactCheck.Org also provides proof that Obama is an American.
I'm embarrassed that the military let this happen and also embarrassed that our Republican constituents don't take the time to research facts and believe and hear everything they see on the internet and TV.
Please, we can't bring ourselves down to the same level as the Democrats, who control their constituents through media falsehoods. Has there been any Republican come out and say, "Stop these Obama Birth Rumors"? No because they are playing YOU. Even though Republican leaders know that Obama is a citizen they are remaining silent so they can play "YOU", the voter, into believing and spreading this ridiculous rumor.
Don't play their games, stop the fake Obama chain-emails and spread the Facts not the Rumors.
