Good;
Maybe this should help to reinforce the idea that, while ours is a "volunteer" army, following orders is not itself voluntary.

This was pretty much a no-brainer, the ones on trial
should have been whoever was counciling him.

Why can't civilian courts work this fast?

Why can't civilian courts work this fast? Something about Duty, Honor, Country?
Or (more probable) a much smaller case load.

Where's Patton now that we need him? Of course even then the PC police got their way.

Justice prevailed.
All his excuses about conscientous objection and serving longer than 8 years were not relevant to this case.
To: HiJinx
the answer MAY be 'lawyers'.

What was the punishment?He faces up to a year in jail and a bad conduct discharge when he will be sentenced Friday afternoon
To: ilgipper
I'll agree with that if we qualify it by saying civilian lawyers as opposed to military lawyers.
I was one of several soldiers at the center of a 15-6 investigation. I will be the first to say that the investigation was swift, fair, and just. It's just the way the military works.

Isn't this the same punishment the GI got for putting panties on a terrorist's head?

Now they need to get that bastard who fled to Canada.
Jeremy Hinzman, I think his name is.
To: finnman69
That Ramsey Clark sure is a good defense attorney. I wonder if the guy consulted with Clark prior to deserting?
To: george wythe
Yeah, I caught that after I posted, guess we will find out after lunch. I wonder what happened about his defense that he couldn't serve over 8 years by NG regulations?
