Analyst's note: Absolutely must read and carefully consider. As military officers, General McInerney is absolutely correct in noting that we owe our ultimate loyalty not to superior officers or even to the president, but rather, to the Constitution. If Mr. Obama is "... ineligible under the Constitution to serve in that office that creates a break in the chain of command of such magnitude that its significance can scarcely be imagined."
"[....] The Constitution requires a president to be a "natural born citizen," and, while the term is not defined in the Constitution, many legal analysts believe at the time it was written it meant a person born in the U.S. of two U.S. citizen parents. Critics say Obama clearly does not qualify under that definition, since he has admitted in his book his father never was a U.S. citizen. Some legal challenges have argued he wasn't even born in Hawaii."
Not if, but when, this issue finally is demanded to be solved by the American people, our country will be facing the largest crisis since the Civil War. If such is proved, everything Mr. Obama has done is illegal. A number of prideful people are going to fall over creating this crisis if Mr. Obama is found to be ineligible for the Office of President. Our nation itself is at a growing risk the longer this issue of eligibility is allowed to fester. Life in prison is the minimum sentence. I can actually see the death sentence being imposed if people died as a result of such a fraud of ineligibility for this office.
General McInerney is a man of honor and he knows what is demanded of our military officer corps. In fact, what is expressed here is no more and no less than what the American people demand. War is not a game to be played by children and politicians.
McInerney said he recalled commanding forces "that were equipped with nuclear weapons.
"In my command capacity I was responsible that the personnel with access to these weapons had an unwavering and absolute confidence in the unified chain of command, because such confidence was absolutely essential – vital – in the event the use of those weapons were authorized," the general wrote.
"I cannot overstate how imperative it is to train such personnel to have confidence in the unified chain of command. Today, because of the widespread and legitimate concerns that the president is constitutionally ineligible to hold office, I fear what would happen should such a crisis occur today."
He said Lakin is acting "exactly" as "proper training dictates."
A retired lieutenant general from the U.S. Air Force who commanded forces armed with nuclear weapons says the disclosure of Barack Obama's documentation proving his eligibility to be commander in chief is critical not just to the defense of an officer challenging the president's status, but to the preservation of the nation itself.
"[....] The general, who retired in 1994 after serving as vice commander in chief of USAF forces in Europe, commander of the 3rd Tactical Fighter Wing and assistant vice chief of staff of the U.S. Air Force, among other positions, said the chain of command issue is critical in today's world, since officers are obligated both to follow orders and to disobey illegal orders"
[....] "There can be no question that it is absolutely essential to good order and discipline in the military that there be no break in the unified chain of command, from the lowliest E-1 up to and including the commander in chief who is under the Constitution, the president of the United States. As military officers, we owe our ultimate loyalty not to superior officers or even to the president, but rather, to the Constitution."
He continued, explaining, "good order and discipline requires not blind obedience to all orders but instead requires officers to judge – sometimes under great adversity – whether an order is illegal.
"The president of the United States, as the commander in chief, is the source of all military authority," he said. "The Constitution requires the president to be a natural born citizen in order to be eligible to hold office. If he is ineligible under the Constitution to serve in that office that creates a break in the chain of command of such magnitude that its significance can scarcely be imagined."
In his latest video, Lakin said the issue of evidence is important:
