Sounds as if he may have had some bad legal advice. He should have deployed under protest and then filed a petition for writ of mandate for the Army to produce the documents in question. He probably would have lost, but he would still have his commission.

Cest la vie.

I agree. Furthermore, his “lawyers” failed to raise the NBC issue.

Now what basis for appeal is there for what LTC Lakin’s lawyer has concluded is a “certain conviction?”

Puckett stated that all of Lind’s rulings re: discovery were correct, did he not?

What issues does LTC Lakin have for appeal of the “certain conviction” predicted by his lawyer?
