Lt. Col. Lakin defended his right to challenge Obama's eligibility by explaining to his superiors that to deny a military officer's pursuit of this proof of eligibility is incongruous with the President's [[Oath of Office|sworn oath]] to protect and defend the [[Constitution]]. He was court-martialled, and served six months in a military brig for disobeying orders to deploy to [[Afghanistan]]; orders he believes were illegitimate because of unresolved doubts about President Obama's birth. Lieutenant Colonel Lakin was released from prison in 2011, and returned home to his family in [[Baltimore]], [[Maryland]]. | Lt. Col.
