There seems to be something strange going on if a Government and VETERANS Affair committee bottles this up.
I was hoping the reference to Lt Col Lakin giving up most likely at least $3 million worth in savings, salary, benefits, and retirement benefits, as well as having his reputation trashed and being in jail for 6 months ,,, would not be lost on them. This is what this man’s oath to protect and defend the US Constitution meant to him.
To his Commander-in-Chief it was not worth 2 minutes of his time to authorize the release of documents he claimed to have already disclosed, in order to allow Lakin to serve in good conscience.
One of the senators asked me about Nebraska having to foot the bill to defend the law in a legal challenge, and I mentioned that I didn’t think our vets should have to spend $3 million of their own personal money to do what the government should take care of procedurally anyway.
I hope the name of their committee was on their mind as I said that.
