OK, that's what you'd expect the attorney to say. But of course, if you actually read the article, the mid is not being disciplined for that, but rather for the following:
but only the male was charged with using "obscene, profane, provoking, or improper language."
So ... what did he say, and to whom? Was this guy's "bragging" different in type and intent from that of the girl? This guy's apparent inability to shut up would be bad for a military organization. Perhaps it's best to weed this guy out now, rather than later when it really matters.
As for the girl -- well, her actions should should be considered, but separately. This guy sounds like he got himself into trouble.
As for the attempt to manufacture outrage over this -- and that's what this story is designed to do -- I never, ever trust the word of a defense attorney when he's defending his client in the newspaper. He's paid to tell only half of the story.
