Navy Seal

Well it looks like this one of the few (only) time I can remember I disagree with you folks. I Believe the Navy and Military in general have been unfairly targeting our servicemen and prosecuting them unjustly. I am glad trump overturned the convictions. I wish he had done it sooner. The UCMJ needs to be reviewed I can attest from first hand knowledge the unfairness and unequal application of it. (my experience was far less serious they those we are focusing on). But posing with the body and taking pictures was a direct violation of regulations and based on that he deserves the reduction in paygrade.

Originally posted by CBarnes No I have not I am not a combat veteran. I believe he has been punished TOO MUCH as far as the conduct of the Navy it has been despicable. My only issue is with the last charge. We can not allow our serviceman to disregard basic rules of conduct. E-1 thru E-9 do not make policy but they are responsible for following policy sometimes that is just FKD UP. But we can not let each Sailor decide when and where he or she will follow the regulations. Thus I say on the last charge he should be held accountable. This does not mean it is a WARCRIME a simple violation of article 92? of the UCMJ captains mast administrative not judicial punishment. Now the Officer in charge of this entire POS trial need to be held responsible for conduct bringing discredit to the United States Navy, Conduct unbecoming a Naval Officer. And at the least stand trial for Dereliction of duty. They should be Court Marshaled I can add to this list if I felt like typing longer.
