Good illustration, Red. I’d want both to be safe!
It’s clear that the captain defending Sgt Vela was handling his case to the Army’s benefit (pressing his client to waive an Article 32 because Vela has already “confessed”).
I’d rather have the Army focussed on winning the war. But if they’re going to try and lock up soldiers, our servicemen deserve a better defense than a junior JAG is capable of giving.
