Army LTC Terrance Lakin bought into the birther trash, got obsessed with it and refused to deploy to Afghanistan. Today the flight surgeon was sentenced to 6 months in prison and dismissal from the Army.
This officer served with distinction for many years. Then he away his Army career and a fine retirement in order to make a political statement. When he gets out of jail there will be lots of jobs waiting in gthe fast food industry.

Quote:
The prosecutor said Lakin had other options such as resigning or asking not to be deployed if he had issues with his orders. Instead, he used his deployment earlier this year as a political ploy, O'Beirne said, going to great lengths to create a "spectacle" by informing people of what he was doing.
"He knew exactly what he was doing and he did it anyway," O'Beirne told the jury, asking members to send a message with their sentence and telling them they could "write the headline" that appears in papers about Lakin.
