In a perfect world ...

... this officer would be asked to resign:

An Army judge has made it "impossible" for a career medical officer to get a fair hearing on charges he refused to deploy to Afghanistan because of concern that obeying orders in the chain of command under an ineligible commander in chief would be illegal, his attorney says.

The rulings came today from Col. Denise Lind, who, in effect, told Lt. Col. Terrence Lakin to pound sand. Rocks actually. He faces up to four years at hard labor if convicted in his case.

If I were the CIC, I'd ask for Col Linds resignation, effective immediately.

See, the military shouldn't concern itself with whether the president is 'embarassed' or not.

Besides, Obama can't be embarassed - he has no shame.
