Al Queada must be dancing in the streets.
An immigrant lawyer from the eastern block, with an internet law degree is helping soldiers turn their backs on service their brothers already in the combat zone and the premier comservative web site is loaded with people who are cheering because it promises to cast dispersions on an unpopular president. If anyone had ever told me that such a thing could happen, I’d have told them they were crazy.
One question. My neighbor (serving in Kuwait) told his wife that his commanding officer is having an affair. As adultery is contrary to military code of conduct, can my neighbor turn his back on his post and come home?
I was active duty navy and in the reserves. I got out when I served my eight years. Unless “they” change the law, I cannot be recalled.
This major is a sea lawyer grasping at straws to avoid his deployment orders. He deserves court-martial or Article 15 hearing in my view.
“One question. My neighbor (serving in Kuwait) told his wife that his commanding officer is having an affair. As adultery is contrary to military code of conduct, can my neighbor turn his back on his post and come home?”
No, but if he has credible evidence, not hearsay, he should report it to the officer superior to his CO. Or report it to CID or the IG. Strange as it may sound, the adulterous officer’s orders are still legal...his conduct is not. NOW if that officer had obtained his officer status by forged documents (college diplomas, etc.) then the lawfulness of his orders might be questionable.
Welcome from Kos to FR!
You can attack him.
But the one thing you can’t do is bring him up on charges!
Cook , an officer , apparently tried to entrap the Commander and Chief yet they cannot take him to court!
KOS is here!
They cannot take COOK to court any more than they can sue World Net Daily for the BC Ad.
They will use anonymous sources but must stay out of court.
..maybe you're on the wrong site....did you get lost?....
