Im saying what I feel. The military leadership that has totally screwed the Constitution, the MCM, Lakin, and everybody who loves this country disgusts me. The enemy within disgusts me even if it wears a military uniform - and we can be guaranteed that the enemy will try to infiltrate the military because the military has been a great tool for good.
There are fantastic people in the military. A couple of my nephews included. At this point the military leadership cannot be trusted. Which is what the retired military brass told Lakin also. I guess they wouldnt belong here either, huh?
LTC Lakin did plead "NOT GUILTY" to the missing movement charge on his deployment to Afghanistan.
From the article:
"He [Lakin] pleaded not guilty to a second charge of missing a flight he was required to be on. His court-martial at Fort Meade is continuing on that count."
To: butterdezillion
Lieutenant Colonel Lakin could have simply pleaded not guilty, trusted a military panel of his fellow officers to side with him and kept his judicial options open to appeal if convicted.
You can try to deflect the blame onto others if you want but a Lieutenant Colonel who is a physician is capable of simply saying the two words: NOT GUILTY.
