Courts Martial Defense of LTC Terrence Lakin

Courts Martial Defense of LTC Terrence Lakin

At issue is not whether or not LTC Lakin refused orders, but rather whether or not he "unlawfully" refused orders. If his orders were not "lawful," including but not limited to, emanating from a "lawful" chain of command which begins with a lawful Commander-in-Chief, then Lakin must be found NOT GUILTY of "unlawfully" refusing orders.

At the heart of the matter is whether or not his orders to deploy were "lawful."

LTC Lakin has questioned whether or not his deployment orders were “lawful” on the basis that he believes that the Commander-in-Chief from which those orders are issued, may not be “lawful,” therefore making any orders from the top of military command "unlawful."

To determine whether or not Lakin is correct in his decision to refuse orders, it is paramount to discover with certainty whether or not his orders were issued by a "lawful" command.

As we know, Article II – Section I requires that only a "natural born citizen" of the United States can hold the office of President, Commander-in-Chief.

In this regard, a fatal misstep in the Lakin defense has opened the door for the illegitimate statements now being made by Col. Denise R. Lind.

LTC Lakin failed to directly assert that Barack Hussein Obama is NOT legal in his command on the basis that we know with certainty that he is not a "natural born citizen," – and that LTC Lakin is "lawfully" refusing to follow orders on this basis.
