I’ve seen many people go to Mannheim and Leavenworth, and I had no doubt all of them were guilty.

Allrighty, antiRepublicrat. Based on......?

Like our mailroom clerk who started showing up with stuff in his room, only to find out those were things other soldiers had sent to them through the mail. He was stealing mail. Another one in another unit was stealing government travel cards and using them. Another one claimed his ATM card had been stolen and fraudulently used. He had all the charges reversed, only to be caught having used it himself one of those times. Another one beat up a hooker he knew, almost killed her (he was one of the Leavenworth guys).

The escalated case was the most stupid. An NCO had committed an infraction that's, let's say, not in the good order and discipline of the unit. We all knew he did it, we knew exactly what happened. It wasn't that big of a deal. He was going to get a company-grade Article 15 consisting of a small fine and a short confinement to barracks with extra duty (cleaning, etc.). It was a slap on the wrist common for misbehavior in the unit. It was common enough that almost every CQ runner duty I had there included watching someone doing his extra duty. I remember because that meant the CQ runner didn't have to do the cleaning that night.

Anyway, he refused, it eventually went to special court martial, and he went to Mannheim.
