This isn't a discussion about military law in the abstract, but rather a discussion about how military law applied to Lakin. The facts of Lakin's case are crystal clear to anyone with even a remedial understanding of military law - the lawfulness of HIS orders were a matter of law to be decided by the military judge. It really can't be anymore straight-forward.

I cited case law. It's not an abstract concept and could or should have been applied to the Lakin case.

"It's not an abstract concept and could or should have been applied to the Lakin case. "

Reading comprehension is not the strong suit, I see. I didn't say it was an abstract concept, I said we weren't discussing military law in the abstract. We were, and are, discussing military law as applied to Lakin's particular circumstances.

If you believe that citation is relevant to Lakin's case, then yes, I am absolutely convinced you really are Paul Jensen.

Lakin made a huge mistake. He should have kept you on board, and avoided Puckett. It's clear that your superior grasp of military law would have prevailed at trial, and stuff.
