OMG. I wouldn’t want to be a Navy JAG right now. obama’s influence. Playing politics with criminal justice. Not cool, JAG.
Agreed. I was in AF JAG but a lot has obviously changed in the 23 years since I retired. Back in the day, the trial counsel (prosecutor) had a duty to the truth, and could be imprisoned for playing hide the ball with exculpatory evidence. The defense counsel was truly independent and his/her chain of command was not through the local commanders. No theatrics allowed. No taking ANY case to trial unless each element of each offense could be proven beyond a reasonable doubt with solid evidence.
