That's a disgraceful comment.
Major Dobson had to pack his bags on short notice, taking Lakin's spot in Afghanistan and tending to American soldiers wounded in battle He's the one true hero in this whole pitiful affair.
The military, the courts, all conservative media...the list goes on and on.
I appreciate and honor Ltc. Lakin’s replacement’s service
and sacrifice as I always do for all our awesome troops.
And I’m sure the prosecution would make sure
that, in light of their mission, his replacement
would give a very rich testimony.
God bless and protect all our brave troops.

I disagree.
Dobson had TWO WEEKS notice to deploy. Not two hours, not two days.
He was obviously already on a list for call out.
He was already in country for a few days when the mass casualty event took place.
He is already a doctor, trained as a military physician, in emergency tyoe situations.
What was he not prepared for?
We also find he had to leave a two year old child behind.
Join the crowd, pal.
His wife is in the service as well and got a Bronze Star. Great. But what we have is two parents who are already deployed and on a list to be deployed. That’s their choice.
I contend that neither of the circumstance they testified to had a direct cause and effect relationship to Lakin not deploying. There were no extraordinary circumstances they faced that are not faced by thousands and thousands already in the service or in the reserves.
To me, it was piling on. And still irrelevant.
Lakin was a Lt. Colonel, not Gen. Petraeus for God’s sake.
