LTC Terrence Lakin Refuses to Serve

Posted August 13th, 2010 by OldWarrior

Well boys and girls you are going to get my opinion today whether you like it or not. You are free to make whatever comments that you want to this post because you are entitled to your own opinion, but here is mine.

This gentleman has refused to serve in Afghanistan because he says that he doesn’t have to take orders from President Obama because he wasn’t born in the United States. Now I for one thought that this issue had been put to rest because the State of Hawaii says that there is a record of Mr Obama’s birth. If the State of Hawaii says that all is well then that’s good enough for me. Mr Lakin wants to see the birth certificate himself. I don’t think that he would serve even if he did see it. He would find another reason not to serve. Now if you ask me the issue is not a birth certificate but maybe it is something about President Obama. Whatever the reason is it seems that many people don’t want to serve for this President. Never have I seen so many military officers who didn’t want to follow the orders of their Commander in Chief yet you expect enlisted personnel to obey your orders without question.

As far as I’m concerned LTC Lakin volunteered to serve his country just like all of the rest of our custom military ring customers who are doing their time in Afghanistan. If it would make him feel better let me reiterate that this war was started by President Bush so it dosen’t matter who is in office you would still have to serve. The President of this country along with everyone else is not obligated to show you his birth certificate, but you are obligated to serve. I hope that you go to jail.

You don’t even have to see actual combat when you go over there. On top of that as a doctor you will live in comfortable quarters, eat good food, and be able to take a shower each night unlike your brothers who will have to serve on the front lines. You will also get the best pickins of all of the stuff sent over from the States before the front line troops even get to see it so what’s the problem?

You took an oath to serve like everyone else who happens to be there. I’m sure that every other troop can think of other places to be right now also but they are living up to the words that they have spoken regarding serving their country. It’s your turn in the box Doc so just take your medicine and do your job.
