OK, first of all this guys in the US military and has to follow orders unless they are in violation of the law. (I don't care what they say in public, they want you to follow all given orders illegal or otherwise in the military.)
Whether or not Obama is a legal US citizen is/was a matter for the courts etc......

This guy is fucked and will be court marshaled.

The "order" in question is not just any order but an order to report. It comes from the TOP, so the officer is REQUIRED by military law itself to question anything about it that is erroneous, including if he sincerely believes that the originator, in this case the CiC Obama, is not eligible to issue the order.

Not one of the issues you mimic in your post is relevant.

5. The University of Chicago released a statement in March, 2008 saying Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) "served as a professor" in the law school, but that is a title Obama, who taught courses there part-time, never held, a spokesman for the school confirmed in 2008.

AND a doctor, a real doctor; a flight surgeon.

I bet they back down and rescind the orders.

Most of them hate him and will find some other technicality to attack him on. Regardless of that, it would open up a can of worms and set a precedent. Then any crazy group with an agenda could go after him demanding this and demanding that and we end up burning even more tax dollars trying to fulfill these demands.

Palin is a pretty good example of this. One of the reasons she says she left office was that her administration was under siege. People were requesting every single little document she had ever touched and her office had spent over 600K fulfilling these demands. There was no end in sight. Her haters were going to go through every letter of every document and find things to attack her with.

While I think there were other bigger reasons for her stepping down (IE millions to be made with books, speeches and TV shows plus the fact that she may have lost her re-election bid) it doesn't change the fact that these things happened to her and would/could happen to Obama. He has produced the document that is required, he has satisfied the legal requirement and he isn't going to bow to a small, vocal and angry group. As soon as he does that he may well be opening the flood gates.

Eh. That's not entirely accurate. The Joint Chiefs are made up of 4 star generals promoted to be the Chief of Staff of their branch, so it is prestigious, but they are actually not in the operational chain of command between the Sec of Defense and the 4-star generals. Their role is to advise the president and administer their branches, including policy, planning, training, etc.

The chain of command runs from the President to the Sec of Defense directly to the 4-star generals of the various operational commands around the world. The most direct of which are the unified commands, i.e., US CentComm, US NorthComm, US EUCOMM (European Command), etc.

The rest of your post--good point. A Lt. Col is an accomplished military officer generally of approximately 17-25 years experience, but when it comes down to his overall authority on matters of policy, the constitution, etc., their role is to carry out orders as assigned by their superiors, which generally includes supervising and commanding subordinate personell.

It is my understanding that this Lt. Col is a doctor and doctors are commissioned as Captains thus he is not an accomplished military officer...merely a doctor.l

I just verified the fact that the man is a doctor and it is a fact that doctors are commissioned as a Captain...thank you very much. You are now dismissed.
