In what way are orders to report to Kentucky as the first leg in a combat deployment to Iran (absent valid Presidential approval) less valid that those to fall out for lunch?
It is VERY interesting that Lind didn’t call the testimony by the wife of the doctor who deployed in Lakin’s place “irrelevant”. Lind, the defense, and everybody else who’s honest knows that this was about deployment orders. If it wasn’t about deployment, then that testimony was TOTALLY out of line as irrelevant. So it’s in the record that we’re talking about orders to deploy for combat operations in a foreign country - not just falling out for lunch.
You keep mentioning Iran.
He was ultimately bound for Afghanistan.
Where does Iran enter the picture?
