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.

What does one have to do with the other? The one guy was "consulting" with a known terrorist, making presentations about how the terrorists are justified, and so on. Plus he was a lousy at his job.
By all accounts Lt. Col Lakin has been an outstanding officer and physician. He isn't advocating anyone else follow him, or act in a similar manner.
The situations are not even vaguely comparable.
I smell overreach and desperation.
