presumptionof innocence while we wreck your life ... sure, thanks USMC.
Sometimes you have to wonder why men put themselves in jeopardy not so much with the enemy as the military bureaucracy that lets public opinion forged by the left dictate how they run the war.
One of my sons is joining the Army and, frankly, I am more concerned about the aspect of his being falsely accused and having his life/reputation trashed for years than I am the insurgents and their IEDs.
The military, regardless of branch, is constricted by certain guidelines and laws that don’t exist outside. They do not go out to wreck lives. They are battling several fronts...discovery of the truth in order to carry out the law, and the Left that will do anything to smear them. The carrying out of the JAG’s mission is as complex as any, and therefore makes for bureaucracy.
Men and women put themselves in jeopardy because we raised our hands and took an oath to protect against enemies both foreign and domestic.
You should be proud of your son. You state that you are more concerned about him being falsely accused rather than insurgents and IEDs. The possiblity of him being involved in something that would bring false accusations is slim. However, should it happen, he would know the truth. I would rather suffer a few years of “trashed” reputation because those that matter to me would know that truth as well. Insurgents and IEDs can kill.
Please congratulate your son, and give him all our best wishes!
Former US Army Sgt.
