So in the latest barrage against President Obama, a Lieutenant in the U.S. Army has defied presidential orders and claims that he cannot execute the orders until Obama's citizenship is proven! Lt. Scott Easterling asserts that his pledge to uphold the Constitution and the laws of the land conflict with following orders from the President because he does not have proof of citizenship.
Would there be such support of this soldier if he were asking to see George W. Bush's, Bill Clinton's or Ronald Reagan's birth certificate? Has any Presidential candidate been forced to "prove" his credentials to the American military? Last time I checked, Obama was inaugurated as President and now sits as the commander-in-chief.
When I was in ROTC in college I was told that such actions were equal to "insubordination" and even "conduct unbecoming an officer." Why isn't this dude being reprimanded by his superiors? Why aren't the pro-American forces coming out en masse to support the Commander-in-chief? Is it because he is black? Is it because his father was an immigrant?
Federal and state courts have already thrown out a dozen or so cases just like this due to the vetting process that has already taken place. Sounds like this officer does not understand legal precedent. The courts have interpreted the laws and decided that such arguments against his eligibility are unfounded and will not be heard due to lack of evidence. What makes his case any different other than the fact that he is refusing to do his job in the meantime?
This just makes me so mad! Why are humans so god damned divisive?

This type of ignorance irritates me to no end. In fact, if there exists any doubt about citizenship, it is with Senator John McCain. He was admittedly born outside of the U.S. to military parents, but born off base. During the last Presidential election this seemed to be of little importance to the racist masses. However, I digress. Your point is well understood; this individual is not a Supreme Court Justice, and has been given orders to accept his commander and chief. What makes ignorant people feel that they know everything?
