Major General Kenneth Dahl is a JAG. He is one of the types who wants to add a little American style legalism to the battlefield, including Mirands Rights for terrorists

As a no-name grunt many years ago, if I were in charge right now I would make it a requirement that every JAG officer serve on-line as a line grunt behind a section or platoon sgt. for a year before being allowed into a military courtroom as a JAG officer.

They did used to.

My dad was a Combat Engineer in N. Africa, Sicily, Anzio, and the Winter War in '43-44. After hostilities concluded, he didn't have enough good points to get out, so he lateraled to the JAGs and supervised the Greek elections while being shot at by Communists.

He wouldn't have put up with any of the current JAG nonsense for a nanosecond.

Bravo. Hear, hear

My War College classmate was a USMC JAG Officer. The Marines detailed him to a tour as an Infantry Rifle Company Commander while a serving JAG Officer. Smart.

That’s why ole Storm Trooper Lindsey Graham, that fighting machine, was such a joke....
