Camp Lejeune Marine will be spending more than two years in the brig after a military judge on Monday found him guilty on several charges including desertion.First congrats Major Martz. You just guaranteed yourself some silver oakleafs.
Cpl. Wassef Hassoun, 35, was sentenced to 735 days of confinement in the brig, a dishonorable discharge from the Marine Corps, forfeiture of all pay and reduction to the rank of E-1 or private by Maj. Nicholas Martz.
Second. The sentence is not as tough as I'd like but reasonable.
Third. You know an Army general somewhere is pissing his pants. The USMC acted first, moved decisively, preserved good order and discipline...and I can't prove it but I would bet that there was political pressure applied to make this case go as easy as possible...probably something like a time served and an other than honorable discharge.
This USMC ruling places tremendous pressure on our sister service. The White House will not want the visual of the US Army putting a Soldier in the brig after they negotiated for his repatriation.
Yeah. That Army general is pissing pants, and shitting bricks right about now.
yeah. finally someone is addressing what i'm trying to (inartfully) get at. why are they (the Muslims) doing this, and extremely realistic ways to deal with it. i've talked about child fighters on these pages before. its extremely EXTREMELY unfortunate but we're talking about basic survival. if a child takes up arms then he is an enemy combatant. i appreciate your words but i'm still alarmed, pissed and ready to fight.
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU!!!!
ReplyDeleteSOL,
. I've been waiting for you to just come out and say it! You are right of course, they are up to something, and really I believe many of us have a much better idea of what's going on than we're willing to utter out loud, especially on a site like this.
. At this point I think many of us are going through the various stages of grief right now because of how impossible it's becoming to believe that this will work out somehow and life as we know it will be recognizable when we come out the other side.
It's sad and scary but it is what it is
Damn......it finally happened. Despite our precautions. Swine flu has reached my location with 4 people hospitalized already and this entire locality now on a war footing. No deaths reported till now from here. Wish me luck guys. And a stronger Immune system too.
