Officer's Oath - a book review

In 1776, in defiance of an oppressive King, fifty-six men, representing those in the thirteen colonies, took a stand, placing their lives, their fortune and their sacred honor on the line to declare Independence.   

Throughout history, many have taken a stand in protection of the Declaration of Independence, the Bill of Rights and the Constitution, but no man has ever taken a stand and questioned the legitimacy of a sitting President of the United States to hold the office in which he occupies. One man, Terry Lakin, dared to make  history while as an officer in the United States Army, he questioned the holder of the office of the President, and sacrificed everything in the end - his rank, his pension and the career in which he valued more than life.   Lakin is the only soldier to have stood up to both military and political pressures for failing to report for duty, because he questioned the very orders rendered by an elusive Commander in Chief.

As an officer in the military, Lakin took an Oath to defend and protect the United States Constitution and those in which it was designed to protect - the American people.  Lakin's responsibility, as an officer, was to  follow orders given, but to also question any orders he felt were questionable. Lakin had deployed many times throughout his career, but when he received orders to deploy to Afghanistan, he felt the orders were unlawful. Lakin didn't run and hide from these orders, instead he took a stand and questioned the issuing authority, the President of the United States. After all, it was a question of honor and duty.   Lakin felt so strongly in his convictions and principles, he was willing to sacrifice his military career to uphold his oath; would you be willing to do the same? 

"Officer's Oath" is a must read, because it explains clearly what the media failed to research. Follow Lakin as he embarks on a fight for his life, loss of his military career, and a future yet unknown for him and his family.  The authors, Lakin, Cashill and Mercaldo held nothing back, so I recommend to anyone serving in the military of the United States of America, read this book before you cast your vote on Election Day.  The "Oath" you took upon entering the military will take on a whole new meaning after reading this book.
