Must be true.
The more I see how the officer corps operates, the more contempt I have for them.
The classic example of Unlawful Command Influence is the old man signaling his desire about the outcome of a trial and then having his "impartial panel" return his telegraphed, desired result. In short, the old man wants it and we make him happy by giving it to him.
By your definition one's standards are violated and the benefit is the good pleasure of the commanding officer.
That's why UCI is the deadly enemy of justice, and it's why LtCol Chessani's case has been derailed.
BTW, there is no “panel” in a Courts-Martial.
I think this could backfire....monstrously.
You're betting that the multi ethnicity & religion of self Obama who has used that tint soley for political reasons all his life, while inside resented his shade and threw his preacher from the black church under the bus as soon as he stopped enabling his ego and thirst for power, and has surrounded himself with as much of a lopsided majority of white elites as Bush did with minorities will help Nelson because he's black?
No, he'll bury Nelson, and use the event to "prove" he's NOT racist.
When was the last time you saw him kneel to a black man?
Sorry guys, but this one I got to disagree on.
All part of making the Iraq War the ‘Nam of this era....
It's too late. We won.
The scumbag rats wanted like hell for America to lose, and they wanted to see thousands upon thousands of military body bags because they believed that would help them politically. But we won.
