I agree with you 100% and have seen this one before. (Ret AF also)

These Seals obviously have a hyper-sensitive commander. In order to protect himself, he likely tried to give them Article 15s (which only require a nominal amount of review...just to make sure the i’s are dotted and t’s are crossed on the paperwork). And I’d bet he never figure that the Seals would not sign.

It’s most likely that, had this case not been picked up by a news outlet, it would have dropped. But now that it has made the news, they will have a really hard time doing so. The lefties won’t allow it (another way to get those “baby-killers”)

What happens next is that they try to give these guys a summary court martial (which is like a podunk municipal court before a judge only). Not much better, but at least somebody independent of the commander is looking at the case. They may decide to accept that; but it is just as likely that they refuse the summary court and demand a special or general court martial...

If the Seals do demand a special or general court martial, I hope that Fox News has a real good reporter available to sit in on the proceedings (except in the case of national security, courts martial are always open to the public). I bet that this could be a barn-burner...a chance to expose some totally ineffectual politically-correct leadership.

Well said.

The media reporting this (It will just be Fox News) will bring this issue front and center of political correctness gone mad. Screw the liberal pansy MSM enough Americans are now awake to not fall for their load of crap.

I just really hope these guys are truly innocent of any wrongdoing.

I am giving them the benefit of the doubt all the way, but for some reason that I can’t put my finger on, I have concerns.

I was given a letter from my Commander to sign for refusing to follow a direct order regarding the weal-being of a patient under my management. The order would have hurt the patient. I told my commander, that if he made me sign the Letter, I was going to go to 60 minutes and explain my case.

He left.

30 minutes later, he returned.

He presented me with a letter of Appreciation, and asked me to drop the issue. He was a commander who did not know anything about patient care, and he was a foreign medical graduate trained in what I would call a veterinary hospital. He and Maj. Nidal Hasan would have been very good friends.

I love diversity.
