Soldier questions Obama's eligibility as president and commander and chief

This guy should be court-martialed for mutiny as of fucking yesterday. This is so against the UCMJ on a whole number of levels not to mention totally offensive. Its one thing to disagree politically, it's a whole other to reject your commander-in-chief out of hand. It is

I think he should be court-martialed. He has to obey the commander-in-chief as a solider.

I'd say he has a right to question *if* he was still a civilian, but as a solider he did take an oath.

That's the core of his argument though. As I understand it,If Obama is not, in fact, a natural-born American Citizen, then any orders he's given as President are subject to review and may be revoked.

The soldier is demanding that Obama legally prove that he is eligible to give those orders.

Whether he is right or wrong to do so is a matter of perspective.

that question doesnt hold any water though; even if it were a pending issue, he would be obligated to obey those orders given by Obama until proven otherwise.

Not to mention, they sort of figure this stuff out when you submit your documents to run for public office - these are questions that were answered when he ran for the senate.

Oh, quite. You would think a soldier would know all this.

maybe he didn't pay attention during endoc.

Makes sense.
