LTC Terrence Lakin, Army 'Birther,' Charged With Disobeying Orders

WASHINGTON — An Army doctor has been charged with disobeying orders after failing to show up for duty in Afghanistan. He justified his insubordination by questioning whether President Barack Obama has the right to order him there.

Lt. Col. Terrence Lakin is scheduled to be arraigned Friday at Fort Belvoir, Va.

The Greeley, Colo., native did not report to Fort Campbell, Ky., in April to prepare for deployment.

Lakin said in a YouTube video that he chose to disobey orders and was inviting his own court-martial. He says he wants to see Obama's birth certificate as proof Obama was born in the U.S. in order for  the deployment to Afghanistan to be legal.

Hawaiian officials say the records there prove Obama was born there, but so-called birthers disagree. All of the birther court challenges have failed.
