    The court martial he’s going to have is entirely separate from civilian legal proceedings. And I expect the presiding officers are going to absolutely throw the book at him, if for no other reason than to set a graphic example.

    And if they don’t, we’ll know a bit more about the dangerous personal politics of some officers in the Marines.

      Yeah, this is what gives me the cold sweats. Enlisted guys being conservative and following the Republican line to the extreme? Not a damn surprise there, been that way as long as I remember. Officers, especially upper ranks, being that way enlisted guys are? That’s scary.

        Article 94 of the UCMJ is pretty clear. He’s looking execution if they decide we were at war at the time, and life in Leavenworth otherwise.
