Nutty rants, this is a normal reward offer for information to the general public, not a payoff directed at the military law enforcement to get them to show up and investigate.
“... not a payoff directed at the military...”
The US Army Criminal Investigation Division (CID) offered a reward of up to $5,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for stealing four Skydio X10D drones from Fort Campbell. While the reward was widely publicized for public tips, it was not restricted from being claimed by active-duty military personnel.
They should have not allowed the active military to receive a reward for not doing their job.
