I think John Murtha applied for that job.
We as a country need to modify the UCMJ and the way our accused military is treated.
How about we promote Sergeants and demote Generals? And send those demented, demoted, demagogues to the worstest hardship posts on the planet, or the front lines, or the soup lines. Hoist the retards by their petards. Or to a post at the roast where they burn the most. (Just send them straight to He!!)
LOL. While all those are interesting suggestions, I’m sure there are other ways to attack the problem. I know very little about how the military justice system works except for what I’ve seen in the last two years. It seems nobody in leadership positions are permitted to stand up for an individual once they’ve been accused.
Unfortunately that code of silence does more to damage the accused versus helping them. Americans are used to civilian cases where a PR person comes out and tries to limit the damage of the claims. The silence from the military justice system is deafening. Media types are allowed to play with the facts and present their own “case” without any rebuttal. It is a sham that needs changed. Here’s a crazy idea. Their should be an official spokesperson, an advocate if you will, for each accused service person who can quickly respond to media inquiries and present their client in the best possible light.
The times have changed. We have the internet. We have global media sources. The enemy is using these charges in their own propaganda campaigns. The military justice system needs to change with the times.
Thoughts?
I totally agree with everything you just said! May they all rot in he!!.
