To quote a commenter on the CAAFlog:

"No, Major Dobson, who was deployed on short notice to Afghanistan to pick up the responsibilities Lakin failed to uphold, is a hero. Colonel Gordon Roberts, Lakin’s CO, who holds our country’s top honor for heroism for actions under fire, is a hero."

Take note: I did not say LTC Lakin is a hero, a word that is much too lightly tossed about.
