Supreme Court asked to intervene after military breaks rules to penalize lieutenant colonel. . .
The Army broke its own rules in its punishment of an officer who, following military protocol, intervened to stop a public “make-out” session by two lesbian subordinate officers, contends an appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Lt. Col. Christopher Downey was cited for assault for bumping a camera that inadvertently hit the nose of an Army staffer who was trying to capture the scene on video.
The Thomas More Law Center of Ann Arbor, Michigan, this week petitioned the high court to “correct the injustice done to Lt. Col. Christopher Downey after the United States violated its own regulations, effectively ending his stellar career.”

UMMM. Isn’t this covered clearly in the PDA rules in the UCMJ?
To think that my discipline and order had anything to do with a smart and cohesive RADAR unit was ridiculous.
No gayass weirdos. If you take it, you don’t make it.
Your Navy folks were quite different. I hired a few for the ranges and they had some weird baggage.
Don’t say that.
I work with some of the finest out of the 82nd.
They have places for the weak.
The once fine military has been CORRUPTED by the LEFT!!! STOP THIS NOW, President Trump!!
We had rules that would blow the lefts mind.
Sunglasses were one. Not military, not allowed.
I don’t even know what 35-10 is.
Keep in mind the Military gave me sunglasses.
They were 35-10.
I vaguely recall David Horowitz’s admonition from the late ‘80s. He warned the nation to keep feminists claws away from the military. If allowed a free hand, they would ruin it.
Thanks to the initial inroads by feminazis, military social justice extents to homos.
Its just a shame. Its as if the very purpose of rats and their allies is to soil all that is clean and good.
It IS their purpose.....RUIN EVERYTHING that’s GOOD and DECENT!!
A normal couple would have been punished. There is no reason why abnormal people should have special privileges.
If Mad Dog Mattis in not willing to rid the military of this crap then America is doomed. After what we’ve seen with the 7th Fleet I am terrified by what has happened to the operational effectiveness of the U.S. military.
I was active in the 1970’s, so yes, very different.
I wonder if LTC Downey got the same type of “advice” that I got when I tried to report my Company XO up the chain for showing up drunk to Friday evening formations..lol
and we wonder why we have trouble navigating our ships
I’m wondering when ‘Mad Dog’ is going to Man Up on all this nonsense.
Easy to talk tough to the Pillsbury Dough Boy 12,000 miles away all relaxed in his Italian leather chair, but he’s as docile as a lamb on shoring up the PC idiocy in the armed forces.
It’s eating us alive, General! Not to mention killing sailors and airmen.
The ‘progressive’ nature of today’s military is probably why our enemies feel so emboldened.
Remember that!?
I believe quite a few Army Soldiers and Marines are still in prison and/or careers/lives ruined for the PC idiocy in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The military purged warriors and replaced them with freaks of society.
Just wait until we have to fight a REAL war with our PC military.
Not a distant drone war with a few specops on the ground.
I thought the worst days ever for the U.S. military were the post-Vietnam late 1970’s. “Carter’s hollow Army” we called it around 1980.
I was mistaken. Though the Army rebounded & morale soared during the Reagan years, all that has been frittered away.
P.C. generals don’t win wars. That’s where we’re at.
“The investigation is under Article 32. That is concluded before an Article 15 is imposed, or a Court Martial is recommended to the convening authority, or the matter dismissed.”
What was the outcome of the Article 32? Do we know?
If the GCMCA was determined to hang this officer if he refused Article 15, then Article 134 UCMJ (conduct prejudicial) would have been thrown at him, never mind the conduct of the two lezzie officers.
I thought Obama was no longer in office. My bad.
Not the same Army I served in for many years. Disgusting. And the Generals who led this charge into the sewers are now surrounding Donald Trump and still running the Pentagon. Why?
