“I have become worried about the evolving power of military lawyers who have no experience of combat and who have no responsibility for their actions, unlike commanders.”

You took the words out of my mouth. This hits home with me because my father enlisted in the Navy after Pearl Harbor and ended up in the Supply Corps in Australia for five years. During that time, in order to be able to supply Adm. Halsey’s PT boats with shaft seals, he took it upon himself to have them produced in Australia. Unfortunately, the Aussies didn’t have all the equipment necessary to produce them to BuShips Design, so he made a minor change to the design to facilitate local production. The change actually made the part easier to change out and do it under way instead of having to pull the boat out of the water. At the end of the war, a Navy lawyer showed up in his office in Melbourne to inform him he was going to be courtmartialed for “tampering with Bureau or Ships design.” Fortunately, he out ranked the lawyer so he ordered a couple or SP’s to take the guy back to the airport and see to it that he was put on the next plane out. Never heard another word! Lawyer are scum, Military Lawyers are pond scum!

Hi Jaz, hope all is well!

This is long overdue Justice!

Behenna’s Mom was an attorney who worked for either a city in OK or the State of Oklahoma. She fought hard for Michael and made a comment once that the civilian courts would never get away with what the UCMJ did in her son’s case.

I recall that the Persecution suppressed some key evidence that would have exonerated him, he was railroaded from the start.

Now lets get Allan West’s record cleared. Soldiers do soldier things because they are soldiers, its what they do. ......blah blah Geico save 15%. Officers are there to take care of their people and accomplish their mission. If they are over protective, I see nothing wrong with it. Sometimes they are faced with situations that may not be beyond a reasonable doubt and require prompt special handling to safe guard those in their command. Its saying damned if you do and damned if you don’t. When stuck in a corner, you have to decide quickly. In the military you are guaranteed that $#!t will happen, so be prepared, and carry extra TP rolls. (And that’s all I have to say about that.)

Hiya Saoirise, so good to hear from you FRiend and thank you for relating that! When this went down I suspected as much from what I read.

In my view it’s criminal what they put him through and took those years from him and his family.

Thank God and President Trump for pardoning him, this was long overdue.

I sincerely hope all is well with you, things are good here. Don’t make yourself so scarce here at FR. :^)

I have the extreme honor to point out that our very own Florida freeper "Seek the Truth", her husband, along with the great Beverly Perlson of "The Band of Mothers" were working for years to obtain the pardon of this soldier.

From the gitgo, their tireless activism from the marble halls of DC to the hustings across the country was a major factor in the pardon.

God bless Freeper Seek the Truth and all those who stood beside her lovingly and persistantly ringing the bell for this hero's freedom

God bless Free Republic and its patriot members like Seek the Truth...and above all, God bless President Trump for the pardon. He truly concerns himself with our Warrior sons, husbands and fathers.
