[chucklenut]

this info is quoted directly from exactly what reference please?

1870, some edict or act was put in place to keep federal military from acting like police

should apply to all feds lmfao

I think an exception can be made in this case? There must be a clause in the law. Somewhere. They must use common sense.

Everyone that has been in the military knew this was coming... POF's are a no go. I figured it would be a letter of reprimand and force out, not a actual court martial.

This news makes me sad.

And it makes me want to puke.

We're talking about our government here. They have proven over again that common sense just isn't in their deck of playing cards..

He did what any officer worth a damn would do, he protected and defended his troops........If his commanders were worth a damn, they would uphold their oaths and protect and defend him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hope and pray that everyone who hears of this, bombards their senators and representatives with emails and phone calls in great protest over this heinous miscarriage of justice and breach of faith that the so-called leaders of this country are displaying in the treatment of this courageous officer.

Make no mistake, this is sending a serious message to the men and women in the uniformed services!

It's on all the right wing blogs on the internet so it MUST be true. It's not the "New America" btw. Military personnel have been disarmed other than in combat, on base for training, or Military Police since the 1800s

Well of course, CNN isn't reporting it so it's obviously NOT true.

Sad day though.

 

[grainchaser]

Kafkaesque.

 

[Paynefree]

Kafkaesque.

Translation?

I don't buy it. Even though he violated policy the fear of public backlash should be enough alone to keep any dick head from pressing charges.
