Art 94...(1) with intent to usurp or override lawful military authority, refuses, in concert with any other person, to obey orders or otherwise do his duty or creates any violence or disturbance is guilty of mutiny;

I think the sticking point on Mutiny would be that he didn't do this in concert with other military members.

He is definitely going down for Art 88 Contempt, 87 Missing Movement, 133 Conduct Unbecoming. I don't know if you can charge him with Failure to Obey a General Order and Missing Movement, although his missing movement was definitely planned.

If the Army really wanted to go after him they would get the Feds to seize his computer and see if there is any hard evidence of this being planned from the time he decided to enter the military. If he entered via OCS and signed after the OIF commenced then we know this stunt was the whole reason for joining. Then you get him for Art. 83 Fraudulent Enlistment, 81 Conspiracy, 107 False Official Statement, and throw in 134 just for fun.

Darn, you're good.

Good point. I would also like to know of communications with the aclu, codepinko, moveon, commies-are-us, etc.

Article 83—Fraudulent enlistment, appointment, or separation (he was fully aware of Iraq BEFORE he accepted his appointment).

Article 88—Contempt toward officials (an individual charge every time he opens his mouth).

Article 87—Missing movement (could only be imposed once his unit leaves and he refuses to go with them).

Article 132—Frauds against the United States (he took his oath knowing full well that he could be assigned to Iraq...with no intention of complying).

Article 134—Disloyal statements (an additional charge every time he opens his mouth).

Article 134 - (False pretenses, obtaining services under)(again, he knew about the Iraq situation before accepting his appointment).

He's guilty, that seems to be clear.

When does he get shot?

There is also another action that should have already been taken: revocation of his security clearance, which is required of all commissioned officers. His lack of loyalty is reason enough for the Army's Central Clearance Facility to revoke his clearance and never reinstate it.

Every other article you mention are reasons as well. I've had clearances pulled, because soldiers became members of groups that are subversive in nature. This guy would have been gone a long time ago in my unit.

His rank should be RIPPED from his uniform in front of his unit.

I'm impressed. Are you JAG or something like that, or do you just know your UCMJ?

[letsgonova19087]

Why not throw in 85 as well?

(Not that I know my UCMJ, I googled it :) )
