"I agree with the position, but it sure did not seem to matter to the court in Lt. Col. Lakin’s case. He did six months of jeopardy in Leavenworth."

I see the AFN spots that talk up how the UCMJ in "some cases" provides greater protections than civil law to a defendant, and thinking of Col. Lakin, laugh bitterly.

With greater protections often comes greater jeopardy. Sad in Lakin's case.
