This will not go to court martial, the Court Martial Convening Authority will levee a punishment and put this to an end.
BS. The LTC is defending The Constitution. Where are all the nitwits here who want to salute the usurper to keep their PX priviledges for cheap smokes and booze.
SCOTUS and the Pentagon are cowards.
Wanna bet?
LTC Lakin is entitled to an affirmative defense, i.e. I’m not guilty of the crimes charged because of a circumstance particular to me.
LTC Lakin questioned the eligibility of the CiC when others would not. LTC Lakin proactively sought confirmation of the eligibility of the CiC before he was charged with these crimes and was stonewalled. He requested the procedure for confirming the eligibility of the CiC and was ignored.
LTC Lakin publicly state he would miss movement to demand the CiC confirm his eligibility to hold the title.
How would that work? I've never heard of such a thing.
