My guess is that they backed off due to public pressure, but this officer's career is ruined. His next posting will probably be some Garbage Skow off the Coast of New Jersey.
Theyll charge him after things die down a bit.
I have no doubt of it.
Read carefully the statement. They DID NOT say no one WOULD be charged. What they said is that no had been charged AT THIS TIME.
The article is not accurate. It says no one will be charged. Ain’t what the statement says.
The Nay appears to be the front runner on which service can be the most girly-girl.
Hopefully, the Marines will be forced to invade the Pentagon and tar and feather the jokes called “Admiral” currently dorking up the fleet.
(Apologies to all the real women out there...any one of which could beat the shi...er...Obamastuff outta most libs. Just using the term from SNL for effect.)
“Stories of Navy personnel being charged with an offense are not true. There is still a long way to go in reviewing the facts of this tragic incident, but at this time we can confirm no service member has been charged with an offense,”

In the Navy, it’s up or out. He will simply not be promoted, and forced out.

I am sure the initial push for charges came from the White House.
Dept. of Navy to all Jihadis:
It is open season on all our sailors.
You can bet theywill do something to punish him.
Trump will trumpet. ...to much fanfair for the common man.
My apologies...
"Stories of Navy personnel being charged with an offense are not true. There is still a long way to go in reviewing the facts of this tragic incident, but at this time we can confirm no service member has been charged with an offense,"
"...still a long way to go...but at this time...blah, blah, blah."
Someone needs to keep track of such people, watching out for delayed retribution & prosecution after the public outrage forgets.
"At this time."
Wiggle room. They know they will, they just haven't.
Yet.
There were at least 3 days of rumors that the Navy would charge the sailor.
This may be a reconsideration by the Navy, because they probably received a landslide of emails and texts against them filing any charges.
If the Navy never had any intention of filing charges, they would likely have released a statement saying that the day the rumors first showed up in the media.
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
