Lakin swore to do his duty, which is to treat wounded soldiers in Afghanistan. This, he has patently refused to do.
Those of us who swore likewise and then had to live up to our oaths in circumstances that you cannot imagine take um bridge at his publicity stunt.
Hmmm....do military doctor's take a different oath? Is his only duty to treat wounded in Afghanistan? That's a pretty narrow scope of duty for someone with such a lengthy career. Or is treating wounded only one aspect of his sworn duty?
