An Army doc who refuses to go to Afghanistan until President Obama produces a birth certificate will face court-martial.

Lt. Col. Terry Lakin, a decorated military man who has become a part of the fringe "birther" movement - which believes President Obama was not born in the United States - could face a dishonorable discharge for failing to obey orders, MSNBC reported on Tuesday.

The 18-year veteran came out in support of the largely discredited conspiracy theorists at the end of March, proclaiming he would "disobey" his "illegal" orders to deploy.

2. If this guy actually believes he can
force the president to respond in any way to his court
marshall by forcing disclosure of private records on discovery
or through direct cross examination then he has been huffing
ether.

The only issue of the CM will be did he refuse to obey orders.
