I thought this was very interesting story and another example of how incredibley gullible people are thanks to Faux News (becknut, hackity, limpbaugh) This is the first time in our nations history a soldier has refused a Commander in Chief's order based on them not believing the president wasn't born in the USA

U.S. military officials tell NBC News that the U.S. Army will court martial a lieutenant colonel who refuses to deploy to Afghanistan because he considers orders from President Obama to be "illegal."
Army doctor Lt. Col. Terry Lakin believes Obama does not meet the constitutional requirements to be president and commander-in-chief, because he believes (incorrectly) that Obama wasn't born in the United States.
another doctor who thinks its more important to express their political views then heal.. I mean you would think someone who had that much education would be smart enough not to believe the BS on faux news.
Lakin refused this week to report to Fort Campbell, KY for deployment to Afghanistan, but instead showed up at the Pentagon, where he was confronted by his brigade Commander Col. Gordon Roberts, a Vietnam Medal of Honor recipient.
Lakin was informed by Roberts that he would face court martial, and his Pentagon building pass and government laptop computer were seized.
lets remember some polls show that a huge chunk of republicans don't believe Obama was born in the USA and we have Faux News and other media outlets (who don't do enough to dispell that myth) to thank.

A new national Louis Harris poll finds that a majority of Republicans believe that President Obama is a Muslim, while 45 percent agree with the so-called "Birthers" that the president was "not born in the United States."
and finally here is a video of the good doctor saying he has no choice but to get court marsh'd
