Insertion and extraction of para-rescue, maybe?

Going from multi-engine aircraft to an 8 pound hammer will change him. It may not end the perversion, but he will be a changed man.

Or he is entirely innocent and the victim of an ex-girlfriend, ex-wife, or simply a family friend whose 12-year-old daughter who has made this up as a get-out-of-jail free card for some misdeed of her own — or she also is innocent, the victim of a recovered memory “therapist.”

The Air Force is pretty picky about its officers, and I think when a healthy intelligent tall young man who obviously has good social skills is accused like this, it should be met with healthy skepticism. I say unless the accuser is bleeding and weeping in the ER with a positive rape kit, he/she needs to be put on trial first.

Go ahead, hate me, I one of the strongest defenders of womens rights in this forum, but this nonsense has gotten way out of hand, and it is time to put a stop to it. This young patriot serving his country is entitled to the presumption of innocence!

The article says “Maj. Travis J. Burns will appear in military court Monday for an Article 32 hearing, which “is similar to a civilian grand jury proceeding,” an academy news release says. “The primary role of the hearing is to determine if probable cause exists to support the charge and its specifications.”” need to see more first.

That’s a marine uniform. Not him.

Yes, I see a few of us noticed.

If some one keeps up on this case, my bet is the guy is a homo and the victim is a boy... Air Force = Gay Friendly

I’m not going to hate you. He is entitled to the presumption of innocence.

Certainly, any and all evidence must be scrutinized.

However, if it turns out to be true, then he deserves the worst.

How little do you know about the military?

What I was thinking too. I saluted enough of them to know what a USAF Major looks like.

The article said the rape in 2013 was of a woman.

I don’t disagree with you and the thought did cross my mind, however there are other incidents alleged going back to 2012-2013, so this will quite rightly go to a full court martial and then we will see.

He’s done. The military is especially hard on members who commit sex crimes.

Courts martial charges and sentences are documented and available to the public. There’s a link to them on the Camp LeJeune website.

Love reading the sentences being given to monsters like this guy.

Agreed...the Para-Jumpers are no joke. Their training is on par with Airborne, SEALs and Marine Force Recon.

Semper Fi Brother.
