“Yeah. I am just grasping at straws.”


YES, you are. Why?

It makes me sick to my stomach knowing that LTC Lakin is going to be punished for doing the right thing.

“...doing the right thing?

Lakin just pled guilty to committing a crime. What “right thing” are you talking about?

I was hoping that there would be some positive resolution out of his case.


We all were. It is shame that Lakin gave up.

Because I held hope that this case would bring the issue to the forefront of the MSM in such a way as to force Obama to reveal his documentation. Obviously that will not happen with this case.

He refused to deploy because he believes that Obama is not constitutionally eligible to issue the orders which eventually made their way down the chain of command to Lakin. From this perspective, Lakin was acting honorably in the act of disobeying orders he did not believe were legal. This is one of the duties of an Officer.

I agree, but I don’t know anywhere near enough about the Military Code of Justice to have anything remotely to be considered as informed. I was obviously pinning some hopes on a lost cause. I too am sorry he gave up.
