Birther with an MD and a commission

Birther stories are generally worth ignoring, regardless of whether they’re about Barry or Trig. But this one really got under my skin:

An Army flight surgeon could face reprimand or dismissal from the service after stating in an online video that he’ll refuse deployment to Afghanistan because of concerns he has about President Barack Obama’s birth certificate.

Lt. Col. Terrence Lakin, chief of primary care for the Pentagon’s health clinic, released a statement through the American Patriot Foundation saying his decision is based on “pursuit of the truth about the president’s eligibility under the constitution to hold office.”

Damn it. You’re a soldier and a physician. We’re at war. And you want to make it harder for the military to provide soldiers with medical care? Sheesh.
