Willful ignorance on NPR's part? Or just stupidity? There is no "jury duty" for a Court Martial. The Court *is* the jury, one that can ask questions of witnesses, defense and prosecution.
He got orders to serve on a Court, civilians get called to jury duty, and far too many try like heck to get out of it, then grouse about the poor quality of juries.
The military has juries that are usually composed of officers and the jury gets to assign punishment in most cases. It’s still a jury and calling it “jury duty” is not entirely incorrect.
I'm shocked, shocked I say, at such questions about our esteemed MSM.(/sarc)
God bless LtCol Vokey for what he's done for the Haditha Marines, but the only reason his story made NPR is because he's critical of what's going on at Gitmo. NPR doesn't give a damn about Marines unless they are accused of atrocities. They are just thrilled to get a high level Marine to criticize the Corps on the record.
