I watched a segment of the Megyn Kelly show. Supposedly he had a couple years left on his contract. Not sure how that works asking to get out early..
Occasionally, DoD offers an “Early Out” - usually when the DoD wants to re-allocate funds or there is a budget squeeze.
Doesn’t matter.
He didn’t just run away from going to a dangerous place.
He ran away from his Soldiers.
He ran away from his unit.
He ran away from our Army’s traditions that were earned by the blood of better men than him.
He ran away from his duty to his country and our citizens.
He will run again whenever he is afraid or paid to run.
