A court martial proceeding against an 18-year Army veteran who refuses to deploy to Afghanistan will begin today at Fort Meade in Maryland.

According to The Associated Press, Lt. Col. Terrence Lakin disobeyed orders to report to a Kentucky base earlier this year because he doubts whether President Barack Obama was born in the United States and questions his eligibility to be president. Click here to view the charges.

Lakin served in Afghanistan, Korea, Bosnia, Germany, Honduras and El Salvador before taking up an occupational and environmental medicine residency in Maryland. In 2009, he became the chief of primary care at the Army's DiLorenzo TRICARE Health Clinic at the Pentagon. If Lakin is found guilty, he faces a dishonorable discharge, several years in prison and a forfeiture of his pay, which totals nearly $8,000 a month, CNN reported.

FactCheck.org, a non-partisan, nonprofit consumer advocate site for voters, debunked the claims of the "birthers" back in 2008, and even posted a copy of Obama's birth certificate online. State officials in Hawaii have repeatedly checked the files and confirmed that Obama was born in Honolulu."

2. 18 years in--he'd better not be allowed to retire at 20 and collect a pension, that asshole.

6. I have little doubt he will be convicted - in military courts, the motive does not matter,

and there is NO QUESTION he DELIBERATELY missed a troop movement to a war zone, and DELIBERATELY and REPEATEDLY refused valid orders...
In times past, he might have been shot for all that.
He won't get much chance to review his "beliefs" that Obama is not a valid CIC, and he WILL get several years in Leavenworth Military Disciplinary Barracks, which, while not the hell hole it once was, is no day at the beach, either.

7. Bush* was not convicted and he refused a Direct Order to take a flight physical

All they did to him was ground him......

8. This is a completely different situation - the officer in question is a career

Lt. Col. who REFUSED to go with his unit to a war zone. There are few worse things he could have done in the Army's eyes...
