"AP story. At least half will be proven to be erroneous."

It's 100% misleading BS. See adjacent threads in "Atta/Able Danger category.

Well, now that we'll coming clean.......
When I signed out the base T-2 for an "Instrument Proficiency" ride, I really used it to fly up to to Frisco to see a honey I met at the base Officers Club in North Island...
Well worth the risk..
She became my wife of 32 years

"Sometimes it's a wonder how we can recruit brave men into a system that will screw them in a New-York second."

Your statement reminds me of Pantano. If we are unable to win this battle with the Left at this time (in a general sense) people will start backing off.

"This is my pen. There are many like it, but this one is mine."

That is the best post I've seen all month! Beautiful!

"It's time to clean house at the DIA."

Don't know much about them. But if they are in a state anything like the CIA or State Department, I agree.

You better take her back before anyone finds out.

I voted for Bush twice, to clean the culture of corruption and bring decency and honor back to the fore. After 5 1/2 years, things haven't changed a bit. We are at war, and the back biting still goes on. We need a leader, and there does not seem to be one available, now or for the forseeable future.

Took pens in 1978, huh? Wait until they find out that he removed one of those mattress tags in 1966.

and stealing pens

O.K., I thought they were just trying to shut him up but, WOW, stealing pens. That should get him 30 years to life. /sarcasm off

In ''Through the Looking Glass'' Lewis Carroll, through the Mad Hatter, proclaims: ''First the sentence than the trial.'' Maybe we can wait for the actual charge and coverage by the press. Of course, no one here will believe the press reports about the DOD's charges. Nonetheless, it will be the only source and no doubt Larry King will explore the situation. We'll see...

Given that today's October 2, I'll take it for everything it's worth....;-)

"O.K., I thought they were just trying to shut him up but, WOW, stealing pens."

When I first read that part of the article, I honestly looked back to make sure this was not from Scrappleface.com.

You have to admit that someone has a sense of humor (or maybe a sense of the ridiculous) to file charges like that.

In the spirit in which it was given;}

"Stealing pens." WTF?

The whole office here is going to jail then....

Well, at the Pentagon, pens probably cost $500.00 each.

… improperly flashing military identification while drunk and stealing pens …

In over 20 years of active military service, I never heard of “improperly flashing military identification while drunk”, and the government issue pens weren’t worth stealing – I always bought my own. I’ll withhold comment on the charge of “obtaining a service medal under false pretenses” until more details come out.
If this is the best they can come up with to discredit an Army Lieutenant Colonel, he must be squeaky clean.

[R. Scott]

Sounds about right.

These weren't govt. issue pens, he was 15 yeas old and in "high school".
