[Non-Sequitur]

So when Lakin goes to prison, is it common for men in Leavenworth to take a beating at the hands of other inmates?

Never having been there I couldn't say. But I suspect that the Army runs a tight ship. Lakin should be fine.

Do you think they will separate him from others for being a political prisoner?

I'm sure he'll be in the general population with the other inmates.

It might not look good if he's killed after confronting the leader off the free world, simply asking for a routine document.

Lakin will be free to continue his quest once he's out of the Army entirely. As he should have done to begin with.

Well, I guess we are not the leader anymore. We are now more of a Socialist Communist Follower nation.

Speaking for yourself, of course.

We do have a communist leader who apologizes for our past leadership. Just calling them as I see them.

July 2010: LEAVENWORTH, Kansas - A military prisoner struck with a baseball bat during a fight at the U.S. Disciplinary Barracks at Fort Leavenworth has died ....

I guess this kind of stuff happens in every prison. Cuba, Kansas.... Whatever.
