Permit me to be the first to warmly welcome you to the forum, John.
Thank you.
I have emailed Ltc West, his wife Angela and his attorney, Mr. Puckett. I provided the URL's from my first post on this message board in hopes that the information will assist in a meaningful way with respect to the tough decisions facing them soon.
The UCMJ is draconian at best.
And the United States Disciplinary Barracks (USDB) is no barracks; it is a penitentiary in every sense of the word.
Once those steel doors clang shut and the locks are thrown, the only sound that penetrates is the whistle of a train off in the darkness as it runs along the Missouri River bank.
