"Gotta wonder what his DD-214 will look like."

It's not going to be pretty. What's going to be more important to him is how the various state medical licensing boards will handle this. He may end up teaching medical students in Grenada.

I would hope he at least thinks about writing a book. I'd buy it.

He should go to a VA hospital or a military hospital and volunteer.

I don't think they would allow him in the Hospital, VA or otherwise. He now has the equivalent of a BCD (Big Chicken Dinner) or Bad Conduct Discharge. I wouldn't be surprised if he loses his medical license AND he definitely will lose his security clearance (if he had one) that is pretty automatic for any courts martial that results in a guilty verdict.

If you see an enemy raping your wife you run for cover. Is that what you’re saying?

Lakin made a vow to protect and defend the US Constitution from enemies foreign and domestic.

The only option for officers who have made that vow when the domestic enemy is trampling the US Constitution is to do like Brave Sir Robin, soil his armor, and then run away?

“Lakin is now the cause celebre, martyr, and political prisoner.”

Correct.

Perception is reality and just as the portion of Americans who doubt where Obama was born has grown continuously as the lack of substantiation escapes suppression by the MSM, so will perception grow that Lakin was honorable and Obama was not.

The relatively light verdict could well be a veiled message to Obama by the tribunal in sympathy with Lakin’s statements questioning Obama’s lack of transparency, statements from which Lakin never backed down.

The best part is that he has the birth certificate, Hawaii says so, and it will prove that he’s eligible, Anderson Cooper says so, so given that, why is he instead destroying Lakin’s life and family?

You know, as a E4 I could have legitimately told my commander that he had to follow the Constitution (*how* I went about it might be considered insubordinate though that’s another issue).
Any order which is contrary to the Constitution is illegal precisely because the Constitution is the highest law in America; all soldiers are *REQUIRED* to disobey illegal orders. Period.

All military authority BEGINS with the Constitution, which places the President into the role of Commander-in-Chief; if that person is Constitutionally ineligible to be President then he cannot logically be the Commander-in-Chief.

OldNavyVet wrote: “What is especially galling, is that justice was perverted.”

Indeed. What military-men now have to put up with is a combination of Schrodinger’s-Cat regarding the legitimacy of their orders (they cannot be sure that their orders are, in fact, legitimate) AND Catch-22 (any forceful-request to validate their orders are grounds for UCMJ action against the requestor — DESPITE that the prosecution should have to PROVE that the orders are legitimate*.)

*The President’s Constitutional qualification is inherently an issue here — traditionally, as the commander of *ALL* of America’s armed forces EVERY order’s authority ultimately originates with him. This court’s declaration is tantamount to declaring that all officers have authority inherent in themselves and independent of the President.

Should the appeals process leave the convictions and sentence in place then what does this do his future regarding Professional License, ability to own firearms, vote, etc.? Is this similar to a felony conviction in state/federal criminal courts?

Maybe it depends on your definition of civilized, personally I think we are becoming less civilized every day.

One has nothing to do with the other. Lakin wasn't convicted because Obama didn't supply something.

Well, Lakin was convicted because he's guilty; and he's guilty because Obama wouldn't supply something.

1) Could have been a lot worse.

2) Appeal comin' up.

3) Sounds like the sentencing authority probably agrees with his questions, if not his precise methods for getting answers.

4) Keep praying. Appeal might be handled differently and bring down The Usurper.

'Not really, dishonorable discharge is considered an felony when applying for state medical licenses."

It's complicated and is highly dependent upon the state he chooses to actually practice in. Generally, most state medical boards don't look at conviction at GCM as a felony conviction unless there is a corollary in civilian law. IOW, crimes that are plainly military in nature - like these - aren't generally regarded as federal felony convictions, again generally. So, while it might require some explanation, it's more likely than not that he can get (or keep) his license.

OTOH, what becomes MUCH more problematic for him is insurance. His malpractice insurance, if he can get any, will be exorbitantly expensive. Also, he's going to have issues with the DEA number, which of course is necessary to prescribe or even handle Schedule III drugs. The DEA will view conviction at GCM as a federal felony conviction, and his dismissal poses problems as well - I believe, but am not positive, that alone is enough to disallow the issuance of a DEA number.

Ehren Watada should have been castrated. He was too stupid to deserve the death penalty, but it would have served society to make sure he couldn’t pass his stupidness on to the next generation.

>A panel of bird Colonels sat in judgment. By finding Lakin guilty, did they violate their oaths?

Their oath is to defend and UPHOLD the Constitution... against ALL enemies. Period.
This means that they should not be “resperctors of men” (politically influenced).

Basically it means that the dude is not even an E-1. He loses every penny effective today. I wonder if he will at least get his 0-5 pay for the full day today or will they cut it off at the time of sentence. This guy lost EVERYTHING. Even his wife was not in the court. Not sure what that was about.

He was convicted because Denise Lind ruled that valid Presidential authorization is irrelevant to the authority to issue combat deployment orders.

IOW, any brigade commander can order combat troops to Iran today and the issue of whether the orders were ever lawfully authorized by a valid President cannot even be MENTIONED in court-martial if somebody refuses to go invade Iran on the authority of a mere Lt Col or Col.

“We have no government armed in power capable of contending in human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate for the government of any other.”
- Samuel Adams Lt. Col. Lakin should not be ashamed. Those who stay silent are the ones who should be. I've lost all respect for this military. They are repugnant. My hope is that some day we can have our version of the Nuremberg trials, and ask why they blindly followed orders when it was obvious he is not a natural born citizen. What kind of legitimate president would allow such a thing to happen? People need to be asking that. God Bless this man. He will be vindicated some day. Silence in the face of evil is itself evil: God will not hold us guiltless. Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act. —Dietrich Bonhoeffer This bastard Congress should be ashamed at what they are allowing to happen. To cover for themselves and their negligence they are allowing this man to be victimized. May I be here to see it when life gets even with all of them. It will, it always does.

So, it's Lakin or sissies?

What do you think of Col. Gordon R. Roberts, Lakins CO? Col. Roberts was 19 when awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor and isthe only recipient of the nation’s highest honor currently on active duty in the Army.

Is he one of the sissies?

so... instead of answering a simple question, one required by the Constitution, the government decides to punish a patriot and turn their backs on him.

yup. that’s about par for the course.

unless something drastic changes in the next 2 months, voting won’t be enough to save this country.
