I hope you’re right, but I have a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach.

The Sep 2001 Congressional authorization still holds, so once presidents change, the issue might become the authority of Congress to promote and approve of officers in the military (which it does, especially to such offices as the CJCS which issues orders to officers such as Lakin....iow, they no longer come from the president, but from the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff)

I’m up in the air about this one, P-M, and I still think Lakin’s best recourse is to plead post-deployment stress disorder and ask for retirement.

Chaplain—

I believe the best recourse is for OBAMA—NOT Col Lakin—”to plead post-deployment stress disorder and ask for retirement.”

You do not honor, sir, Lt. Col. Lakin’s—yes—sacrifice. It for all of us, including yourself.

I still think Lakin’s best recourse is to plead post-deployment stress disorder and ask for retirement.

So you're advice is to him is to back down from a fight and plead a lie???
