Any chance that the guy who is supposed to automatically review Lakin’s case would ever consider any of it? Sounds to me like Puckett was just trying to get the lightest sentence and forget about the bigger issues here.
I suppose whoever is above Lind is just as corruptible as she is. It’s probably useless to expect justice. But I suppose there’s still an obligation to at least try for it.
The chances are remote. Puckett likely achieved the lightest sentence for Lakin, and I see no downside to adding evidence about Obama's ineligibility to an appeal that would hurt Lakin but would help in the larger scheme of things.

General Horst, the convening authority, I doubt would take any of this as a factor. It was he who picked the court martial panel.
“I suppose whoever is above Lind is just as corruptible as she is. It’s probably useless to expect justice.”
Or, Lind was correct in her application of the law rather than corrupt.
And possibly there is the point to consider: Not getting the result you personally wanted doesn’t make the result unjust.
