His parents were Palistinian Arab Muslims. He was always a Muslim. Attended the local Mosque in Killeen, just about 4 miles south of the East Gate of Ft. Hood on the corner of Omar Drive and Ft. Hood streets. (I drove by it yesterday, and will again later today). IIRC,prior to that he attended the same mosque in the DC area that some of the 9-11 hijacker attended while in the area.
Regardless of the merits of Lakin’s case, I suspect since the Army leadership has been justly criticized for not dealing with the Mooselimb Major quickly enough, they will be looking for a chance to show they have reformed in that aspect. Lakin may be made an example of.
