LT. COL. RALPH PETERS: What we have here is very, very clear, it's damnably clear that the White House which doesn't understand why this is a big deal. I mean, he just deserted, right?Wouldn't anybody do that? And they just want to protect the president. And they are pressuring the Army, pressuring the Army to whitewash this. And they don't understand that for the military, those who went before, retirees like me, those on active duty, this is a powerful matter, as you heard from the young soldier, of precedent and principle.

The Convening Authority could lessen the punishment after the verdict. In this case, that would be General Milley.
There should be a preliminary hearing or ‘Article 32’ before trial.

You are right...I did misunderstand and totally agree with what you have outlined...
Sheesh, if we on FR mess up how does the world communicate?

There are plenty of generals who would readily compromise their integrity for another star on their shoulders.

And just what evidence is your assertion based on? Hmmm???

I suspect this is wishful ignorance.

If there are any such generals, or any other rank, they are not true patriots and they would be violating their oath - their true lack of character and integrity would show up in other ways.

This might have been an interesting conversation, except that I try to avoid posters who throw out insults. Bye.
