In a breaching war, the first to breach loses.

If Obama breached, Lakin's "breach" is excusable and honorable.

One doesn't follow the other. He could get himself decorated and still be a coward, if he played his cards right.

Were you raised in a family that served in the Armed Forces?

A coward's "respect" is based upon his/her fear.

Yes, if you need to know. Both my parents were WWII veterans. My mom was in New Guinea and the Phillippines as a nurse; her unit was getting ready to go to Japan when Truman dropped the bombs. My father was in the Merchant Marine and was involved in D-Day and other assignments. A number of my more distant relatives were all in the service. My grandfather was a WWI-era vet, as were several of my great uncles, one of whom was in France. My great grandfather served in the union army during the civil war.

Why are you making this personal?

I am not making this personal. I just wanted to know if you could relate to a military lifestyle. I think people who accuse LTC Lakin of cowardice are low life people who have a low IQ and no clue.

My IQ was high enough for me to go to grad school. Anyone who cooks up such a lame reason for refusing to follow an order is a coward or crazy.

A person has to have some nerve to brand a decorated military man as a coward or a crazy man. because he does not agree with your political views. You are out of line here Katiana.
