I agree.

Political correctness has thoroughly spread through our military commands and the JAG Corps.

There’s no place for PC in the military, especially when fighting a war

When soldiers hesitate to defend themselves, fearing prosecution, they often come home in body bags.

I fear this occurred on many occasions.

Amen to that!

You make valid points, D1.

I think PDJT works harder than most any president has.

For all the people who say this isn’t important and Trump is too busy - I don’t agree.

First, this goes to the heart of military discipline - and “Commander in Chief” is the President’s first job.

Second - it isn’t hard. You find a bulldog, you give that bulldog orders, and you tell the bulldog to report back to you every 3 months.

You want to free up time for the President? Peel off most of the public head of state crap he has to waste time on.

You are right about that. They[Republicans] also did everything in their power to put Hillary Clinton in the White House.

“....if military justice itself is corrupted....”

It’s not corrupted, it’s user friendly. For the longest time there has been a real shortfall on people in the military and to fill certain jobs within it that no one wants. Closing off career fields, forced cross training like Palace Balance, and cutting off other career field from advancement and SRB’s, (selective reenlistment bonuses), have become tools to try to stay with the fast leaving troops. So the article 15 also became the way to keep people in line so they could reenlist without poisoning their chances. It’s all about numbers.

But this is the UCMJ. It’s a game of standoffs.

The JAG Corps have become JAF-offs.

Our newly minted little congressman Conor Lamb made it the centerpiece of his campaign. I believe he served all of eight months with the USMC in Okinawa before being pulled home for a political appointment in the ObaMao administration.

Who else gets deals like that? At least the congressman in my new district, Guy Reschenthaler, served three years in an ACTUAL COMBAT zone (Iraq) and didn't make it the centerpiece of his campaign. He actually successfully defended a Navy SEAL accused of roughing up a terrorist.

Yeah, that was ObaMao's military.

In the Air Force, an Art 15 is pretty poisonous for your changes to re-up.

Really? As of five years ago when i was a JAG commanders still had to be the ones that decided to punish or charge people, not lawyers.

So has the UCMJ or the MCM changed the rule that has existed since 1940?
