pointless waste of a military career
Yeah, it’s utterly pointless for Denise Lind to waste a military career supposedly in defense of the US Constitution and then go on to deny due process and equal protection rights to somebody who actually DID keep his oath to defend the US Constitution.
I agree; Denise Lind’s military career is totally wasted.
When Congress authorized the “use of appropriate force” they authorized “the President” to use appropriate force, at his own discretion. Nobody else has that authority. Anybody else who tries to implement the use of force without authorization from a valid “President” is acting beyond their authority.
Lind made some really, really blatant errors in her decision, in order to try to justify the abuse of Lakin - including ignoring the elements of Article 92, which Lakin is accused of violating. But by claiming that “the President” is irrelevant to Lakin’s orders because Congress has authorized military officers to give orders, she is absolutely disingenuous, since the orders given to Lakin involve the “use of force” which Congress SPECIFICALLY gave “the President” the sole authority to do.
I think what Lakin’s counsel meant to say could have been said in 4 accurate but disgustingly putrid words: The fix is in.
The military has been taken over by thugs, and I for one am disgustipated.
What a schmuck you are! I suppose if Washington and those guys had been defeated by the British, you would have declared them fools too.
I salute Lt Col Lakin.

Pointless criticism of a hero who put his life on the line to try to defend the Constitution and the rule of law from the apathetic entropy of 21st century America and the testicle-free "Republicans" who should at least pretend to give a damn and help this 1-in-300-million patriot.
‘pointless waste of a military career”
Is standing up for the Constitution a waste
Is standing up for the Republic a waste?
IS standing up for the Bill of Rights a waste?
I guess it depends on what you call a “waste”? ?
