I appreciate your input and respect your point of view. I will assure you I have no desire to be shot or die. At the same time I fully recognize the risk as I have already visited both of those places.
I Don't know. You tell me. Seem like you are doing this only too well.
Anyway, what does STFU mean?
It means Shut The F Up. Not a very nice thing to say. Thanks Sparky.
Ooo the girl really has it bad, so sad, such a shame for one so young to have so much hatred. Also, Sparky is right, That's NOT a very nice thing to say!
Unfortunately, I think you'll see worse. I am no but I try not to use those words.
They'll do a pretrial hearing (I believe it's an Article 32 hearing) to look at the evidence and based on those findings they will more than likely court martial. If convicted he could face Death, life in prison, fines, demotion, Dishonorable, Bad Conduct or General Discharges. That doesn't necessarily mean jail time but if convicted, it will stay with him as a felony federal conviction for the rest of his life.
Good point, would not surprise me either if they simply gave him a dishonorable or bad conduct discharge and sent him on his way. His fellow soldiers would be another matter. Hopefully, he would disappear and not be dumb enough to go visit his old buddies. I would hate to see a good soldier get into trouble..
Seems to me he could have simply refused to go. Now he's going to jail, I doubt they would or could send him to Iraq or anywhere but jail (if/when convicted)
I've marched for and participated in jog-a-thons for things like Cystic Fibrosis, AIDS, etc... Never demonstrated because more often than not I'm in someone elses country.
Seeing a lawyer was a good first step. Hopefully she gets a good one and follows their advice. It also nice to have moral support from her friends. The advice given here are good so that she has ideas on what to ask her attorney so that he or she can clarify things. Bottom line, nice to get the thoughts, support and ideas from all of us but she really needs to run everything thru the lawyer. Sometimes trying to take action by yourself in legal matters can make things worse. JMO
Actually, I thought it was pretty damn funny too but I was going to avoid this one. Looks like they took it off line and are dealing with it in private si it's safe to say.... That stuff was friggen
RE: its not about politics
We all appreciate a kind word..
