MoH's aren't handed out like Cracker Jack treats or Nobel Peace prizes. This is no sadsack soldier this is someone who was awarded the highest praise the Government has to offer a member of the Military.
It was actually kind of the stupidest play that Obama and the military could have made.
They should have transferred Lakin to another commander BEFORE they had to have MoH recipient Roberts read him his rights.
As it now stands, we know for a fact that we have a standing army whose senior commanders will unquestioningly obey orders, lawful or not, to shoot down American citizens who the politicians perceive as threats to their power. That includes guys who have been awarded the MoH.
Lakin has done the country a tremendous service by spotlighting this small fact.
