Chaplain—
I believe the best recourse is for OBAMA—NOT Col Lakin—”to plead post-deployment stress disorder and ask for retirement.”
You do not honor, sir, Lt. Col. Lakin’s—yes—sacrifice. It for all of us, including yourself.
Think what you will, but my counsel would hold. I spent 20+ years advocating for soldiers, and I believe I’ve got a feel for when the odds aren’t very good for the soldier.
I’d prefer he live to fight another day. And that IS honoring his sacrifice, for he’s already sacrificed his career. I don’t want to see this American hero sacrifice his retirement or his freedom.
