The Army and especially the officer corps should be ashamed of themselves for not prosecuting this. I guess it’s just too much responsibility for the Generals, as if we don’t have enough of them wallowing around.
He should of, been dragged back in. He wasn’t out. He’s a member of the militia until his fifties.
Anyways, this really shows the bureaucratic nature of the military, and responsibility dumping.
I'm not sure that the Army had much to do with this. I think that it had everything to do with the Civilian courts wanting to have this tried within the Civilian system.
But I do agree that the Army should have stood it's ground, and fought to prosecute him under the UCMJ. I just wonder sometimes if anyone in this country is actually interested in meriting out real justice anymore, or has everyone become just another gear in the machine?
