"There are a couple of young soldiers who followed the orders of their superior to shoot military age insurgents on site, that might be wishing they had questioned the legality of their orders, that are sitting in 18 and 25 years in prison as we speak. Strange isn’t it, their superior, Col. Steele got a slap on the hand. Whose orders WAS he following that he got off so lightly and they didn’t? Hmmmm?"

I don't understand how anyone can hope to have an intellectual discussion with someone who compares an order to deploy, to an order to shoot someone - anyone.

"TLC Lakin is doing his duty."

Lakin raised his concerns with command. He was formally counseled PRIOR to him electing to miss movement that his orders were LAWFUL. He has no defense.

And irony of ironies, since Lieutenant Colonel Lakin is not confined prior to his Court Martial, he is being paid by the Obama Administration’s Defense Department for whatever work or sitting around that he is doing and his fate rests in the hands of Major General Karl Horst who was promoted to Major General by President Barack Hussein Obama and who also was appointed to his current position as Commandant of the US Army Military District of Washington DC by President Barack Hussein Obama.

WHO decided his orders were lawful? WHO did the military command consult to decide the orders were lawful? What court did the military command go through to make such a determination? What PROOF did the military command have that Ayatollah Obama is eligible to hand down LEGAL ORDERS? Does the military command determine the legality of the Constitution?
