This was predictable. Lakin is throwing away a distinguished career and at the end of the day will have nothing to show for it.

He will have self respect. At one time that meant something.

This is not over and done with. The lines have been clearly drawn and people know now they have got to stand up and take sides. Lakin will be the catylst that incites men and women to confront what has really happened in this country. He is a very brave man and has sacrificed, by his action, what he had for his country. I salute him.

Why is it predictable? He is doing this country a service by pointing out how crooked it is.

Nah, relax, this is just getting started!

The last similar case was with Spc4 New. Military Judges accepted the JAG Prosecutors argument that it did not matter if the order to wear a UN Patch was lawful only if it was lawfully given (ie from his chain of command).

The Col has definitively demonstrated the entire UCMJ has been reduced to farce.

Admiral Doenitz one of the most honorable officers in Germany during WWII spent many years unlawfully imprisoned due to a Political Show Trial..At that time when America had real Generals and Admirals many of them vociferously and in writing condemed his trial and the findings of guilt.

This ruling demonstrates for everyone to see that our Military Justice System has devolved largely into a series of Political Show Trials, little more than Political Theater.

If as you suggest this is the end of it..

Col Lakin’s Honor remains intact..

That will not be true for any Superior Officer on active duty from any branch who fails to register their objections to this ruling.

He will be one of the few military officers that actually took his oath to Protect and Defend the Constitution seriously. Those officers that remain silent on the issue are cowards and traitors.

I am sorry that you feel that way. It is not Lakin's fault, if every court in the land rules, that none have the power or standing to demand a President's potential fraud be brought to light and legal justice.

What if Lakin had succeeded? Would you be the first to call him a hero then?

Lakin is doing what our military is sworn to do, in the only way he had available to do it, in a court of law. The court & judge have failed their duty to Lakin.
