Will there be public outrage when Obama allows (by not intervening) a loyal officer to be court-martialled for serious crimes and sentenced to lengthy imprisonment and hard labor over a $12 piece of paper?

First, the "sentenced to a lengthy imprisonment and hard labor" bit, while possible, is not much more than hype coming from Margaret Hemenway, as is most of the press release. There's no official confirmation yet of how the military command will handle this.

Second, this story is currently getting very little attention in the media, so it's difficult to envision any "public outrage" at this point -- particularly from the families and friends of military now serving in Afghanistan, where every doctor is vitally needed. (And where another doctor had to be deployed in  Lakin's place, or worse, where a doctor had to remain after expecting to be relieved after a long tour.)

Now we do have confirmation of a court martial, if NBC has it right:

Army to court martial 'birther' officer

U.S. military officials tell NBC News that the U.S. Army will court martial a lieutenant colonel who refuses to deploy to Afghanistan because he considers orders from President Obama to be "illegal."
