Birther News: LTC Lakin has a 'change of heart

LTC Lakin faces up to 3 1/2 years in a military prison and dismissal from the Army. A dismissal is equivalent to a dishonourable discharge for an enlisted man. The court martial conviction is considered a felony and he will also lose his medical license. He will probably end up serving time at Fort Leavenworth.

He will also lose all of his VA benefits. He will not qualify for military retirement that he would have been eligible for in three years. 

Lakin has been found guilty of missing a flight that would have eventually gotten him to the middle east. He also pled guilty to disobeying orders to meet with a superior and to report to Fort Campbell in Kentucky.

"I don't want it to end this way," said Lakin, a 17-year veteran of the Army. "I want to continue to serve."

"I was wrong for trying to push this issue within the Army," he said.

"That's my duty. It's what I've trained for. I'm in the Army," he replied.

"Are we done disobeying orders, Lt. Col. Lakin?" his attorney asked him.

"Yes," Lakin replied.

Is it too late to say 'you're sorry?' In Lakin's case, it is.

Rightardia expects the US army to make an example of him.
