The law was part of the 2013 defense law, which was signed by Obama. He also signed a signing statement (which he campaigned against using) to say he believes he has flexibility.

A hearing is absolutely legitimate here. Maybe they find everything checks out, maybe they don't. But more than enough reasons to initiate a hearing to find out.
He was an American soldier, end of story. You get him home then deal with any issues that pertain to his service agreement. John McComplain is just a pampas jerkoff whom has long ago over used his POW status.. He should just go retire and quit acting like a bag of dicks.
