He got off easy.... as a deserter, he endangered his entire unit, and those that he was supposed to serve...he should have been put up against a wall and shot ( that is what is usually done to deserters )
The military deserted him. He went through the proper channels to find out the lawfulness of the orders being given by Obama, and every person in the military who had the responsibility of following up is guilty of DERELICTION OF DUTY at the least because they refused to even check into it.
I just got done watching “Valkyrie” for the first time yesterday. I know which character fits you perfectly. The one who showed unswerving allegiance to “Der Fuhrer”.
Buttercup thinks you are a NAZI.lol
We’ve only carried out one execution for desertion since the Civil War (Eddie Slovak during WWII). That said, I do think this fellow should spend at least the next 10 years in Leavenworth.
You are welcome to your opinion, but he put his career on the line. All I see are a bunch of gutless wonders in Congress, and the Judiciary.
And that’s what happened after the Nuremberg trials, right???
Deserter?
You’re an absolute idiot!
Lt. Col. Lakin may have or have not done many things.
None of them resemble desertion in any way.
Every time you read about NATO troops getting killed in Afghanistan like the six soldiers today, and then you read the names of the soldiers, it’s always Americans. Don’t you think that’s odd, since NATO is supposed to be a joint force with the EU? Shouldn’t they share the hazard? Also, don’t you think it’s odd that American soldiers are commanded by the EU through NATO? I am curious to know what you think of that, constitutionally speaking.
What do you think of the EU as a socialist governing body. Do you think they support American individualism and American’s rights as enumerated in the Constitution? Do you think our troops should be led by socialists?
Him and any of the SS men under Hitler who refused to comply.
You are looking at things through the wrong lens.
