WASHINGTON (AP) — A U.S. military investigation is recommending that as many as seven U.S. troops face administrative punishments, but not criminal charges, in the burning of Qurans at a U.S. base in Afghanistan in February, The Associated Press has learned.
U.S. military officials said the classified report and recommendations for disciplinary action against the service members involved were delivered to the Pentagon more than a week ago. They have been turned over to the Army and Navy secretaries. No final decisions have been made.
According to the officials, one Navy service member and as many as six Army soldiers could face nonjudicial disciplinary actions, which can range from a letter in their file to docking their pay or assigning them additional duties.

“U.S. officials have said that the service members did not know what they were throwing into the burn pit and that the books were pulled out by Afghan workers before they were destroyed.”
If they didn’t know until after the fact, they shouldn’t be punished. Also, how did this get leaked to the press in the first place?
How many copies have been burned as a result of predator drone attacks authorized by the “commander in chief”?
I wouldn't say that!
Don't ask, don't tell has become Quit Braggin'.
Beautiful!!
Back in the early 70’s, being gay was illegal.
In the 90’s, it was tolerated
In 2011, it became accepted
I’m glad you got out before it became required.
Is that Mad Mo on the left?
No leave for one week!
They should say they burned the Korans because it is anti-Gay.That's right. Play one grievance group against another. Though the fact is, the average marxist will drop gays and women like hot potatoes for the chance to kowtow with a muzzie.
The thing I don't try to understand is that 0 bummer thinks the people in the military are for this, but after being enlisted for almost 40 years, he is a fool.
We had some lesbos who flaunted their homo side the last couple of years. Made me sick to see them in uniform.
That's not a very nice thing to say about the pig!
