>>>This is strange because previous articles said they ‘had been arrested’ at Ft.Jackson around the same time in December

Articles apparently only based on information from Christian Broadcasting Network news, Pat Robertson’s outfit. Not exactly the gold standard of reporting. Hysteria and mob psychology then take over.

Story is still incomplete but shapes up as a few recruits being investigated for minor stuff, with the rumor mill then going into overdrive because of their religion and lynch mobs forming up. I wonder if the separations from service are actually legit or just CYA from the chain of command.

Stop right there!

Maybe we should let them cook for you for a while, since you trust them and all...

I don't know where the allegations of a "food plot" really originated, but the FACT that 5 Muslims in the same "translator" program got themselves arrested around the same time, and that 4 have been discharged and the 5th has been transferred.... well considering the extreme political correctness of today's DoD and the Obamanation, I'd say there's more than a little smoke there.... maybe not a definite "food plot" although who really knows.... "absence of evidence is not evidence of absence" as they used to say in the intel world before political correctness took over...... anyway, the FACT reported that there is an ongoing investigation of material found on their laptops, which has been turned over to the FBI, suggests again that there may still be more to it, even if it's something quite different from the "food plot" allegations. When we see how the Ft. Hood shooter had been coddled and allowed to infiltrate for so long, I'm not willing to believe that these guys deserve any presumption of innocence.... we are in a war with jihadists. It is far from settled that these a-clowns are only "petty" criminals, maybe just that's all that could be proved at this time.

"An investigation continues into other possible crimes relating to information found on their laptops, Wilson said. The laptops were turned over to the FBI for analysis. Neither Grey nor Wilson would elaborate on the ongoing investigation."

They were discharged for minor crimes.

If crime were minor they would have received an Article 15 if found guilty then a fine and/or maybe some other non-judicial punishment (Base restriction, extra duty etc)

There is some level of coverup going on in this case. All of them discharged but one?

No other way to accurately assess it.

How is the Christian Broadcasting Network News reports any less reliable than NBC, ABC, CNN, CBS etc?

Such a comment sound like a disinformation effort.

BS.

Story shapes up that the Army was and IS unwilling to fully investigate or reveal information because of the politically incorrect nature of the story.

Joe Wilson is reporting EXACTLY what HE has been shown as the current status of the investigation, and if you read between the lines, he is indicating that there are other charges that may lead elsewhere.

Lynch mobs? Did you SEE any forming? Did you SEE any groups outside the base? Americans, as a whole, are NOT going to go “lynch mob” but we ARE going to demand that those in positions of authority DO THEIR DAMN JOB, no matter WHAT their religious affiliation AND that does NOT give a pass to those who are in the medias “protected” category of religions.

[a fool in paradise]

John Murtha ran his own lynch mob over the “Haditha massacre”.

That happens a lot.
