Major General Kenneth Dahl is a JAG.
He is one of the types who wants to add a little American style legalism to the battlefield, including Mirands Rights for terrorists
The Russian Army called the “Political Officers”, we call them JAG Officers.
As a no-name grunt many years ago, if I were in charge right now I would make it a requirement that every JAG officer serve on-line as a line grunt behind a section or platoon sgt. for a year before being allowed into a military courtroom as a JAG officer.
As pointed out, MG Dahl is a JAG. His role was to lead the investigation and no doubt drafted and approved any recommendation that may have been in this report. He testified to his findings and opinion in the Article 32 Proceeding. But from a technical standpoint, he did not make a Court Martial recommendation to the Convening Authority.
I believe that he should leave the Army and become a prosecutor in Baltimore.
