Updating our earlier report on Senior Master Sergeant Phillip Monk, a Christian serving in the Air Force whose unit is now commanded by a lesbian: according to Monk’s complaint filed with his superiors, he was relieved of duty for refusing his commander’s order to say he supports gay marriage.
Now the Air Force has taken the first steps to criminally investigate Monk for talking to the media about his situation. Despite the fact that earlier this year the Obama-Hagel Pentagon said they would never court-martial a service member for their Christian faith, they have taken the first steps to possibly court-martial Monk.
On Aug. 27, an Air Force investigator met with Monk and his attorney, Mike Berry from Liberty Institute. Berry expected it to be a routine meeting to take a statement from his client, but during the meeting the investigator said that he would read Monk his Miranda rights.
Monk was advised that he is being investigated for committing a crime by the U.S. military for making a false official statement, that he has the right to remain silent, and that he has the right to an attorney. The Air Force then assigned military defense counsel to him and is deciding whether to formally charge him with a crime, at which point Monk would either have to admit guilt and accept further punishment or face a court martial.
Monk is being investigated and might be formally charged for violating Article 107 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ), which makes it a crime to make a false official statement. But Monk’s explaining his situation to the media is not an official statement.

OMG!!! Our one fine wonderful military is CORRUPTED by GAYS ALREADY!!!
I agree with you 2nd. I am always telling my son not to join up. The thing is, he has half a brain in his head. He does not need me to tell him the truth. He sees it himself, and has no intention of going in. I am so cynical of scum bags, that I can almost believe that these scum bags are trying to create a military that will gladly massacre millions of American civilians. Join me in Davao.
I used to steer people towards the Army when I worked at the unemployment office and later, but then we had American presidents, not like now. If you ever get chance, FReepmail me with a thumbnail sketch of what you’ve found out about the PI in your years of research.
To the firmly believing Christian, trouble is an opportunity to engage the ungodly world, all covered in a plain brown wrapper. Bring it on, Uncle Sam, if you are so foolish as to do that.
I understand bro. I served under Jimmy Carter too. As much of a nerd as he is, he was not like Odumbo and his brand of sexual perverts. OK, I will freep mail you with info.
Is this NOT the same cowardly terrorist-protecting
Pentagon that defends al Qaeda
(as its private AIR FORCE and ground troops (shhhhhh)
even after al Qaeda BOMBED the Pentagon)
against the American people and the US Constitution?
When the administration let perverts to openly serve in the military, you knew this kind of stuff would eventually happen.
This is all preparation for the day that the military will be ordered to fire on all those bitter clingers who oppose Zero's assumption of dictatorial powers.
investigated for committing a crime by the U.S. military for making a false official statement,
That doesn’t sound good. What lie did he say? I know many who lie on a statement and are punished for it. Why can’t people just tell the truth? We need to know what he allegedly lied about.
So now it’s the Christians who have to practice don’t ask/don’t tell.
What’s worse? a vicious hyena attacking your vital parts, or a raging man-hating feminazi?
You’re better off with the hyena.
“How do they keep anyone in the military?”..
Why do you think they laid this on Monk? Like was previously stated, “that’s the whole point - they are trying drive all the “Monks” out.”.....they want to get rid of ANYONE in the military who opposes the odumbo/gay agenda.
Unless we get rid of odumbo and his ilk, our once great military will be reduced to rubble. Odumbo has certainly made fundamental changes, hasn’t he?
The left is setting themselves up for a justified, hard fall.
“It would help to know how long that commanding officer was in the military.”
Well, that’s the thing about homosexuality, she could just claim that she WASN’T gay when she made the statement.
More fundamental CHANGE. I grieve for our military. This is demolition, piece by piece.
Outrageous but true.
"....refusing his commander’s order to say he supports gay marriage." WTF? Why aren't they going after the commander (other than her being gay)? In what deranged universe is that a proper order under any circumstances?
