They drop those charges and he is charged with adultery and released from the military without benefits.

Nope.
This guy gets off easy - and, he gets full retirement benefits to boot.
American taxpayers and legitimate soldiers get shafted again.

Miller said Yee will be offered nonjudicial punishment for allegations of adultery and pornography.

This is from the AP.

I'm a retired chaplain. If this is true then Yee can either accept the non-judicial punishment OR go to a court-martial trial on those charges.

They have an admission from the woman he committed adultery with, so it is a slam dunk.

Therefore, he will accept the non-judicial punishment. Once he does, his career is over. He is about a 6-9 year captain who is coming up for major. He will NOT make it through the major's board. Therefore, he will be out on the street.

Prior to that, he could be ADMINISTRATIVELY dropped from the military for being a detriment to morale -- an officer with such charges on his file -- with a gen/honorable or a general discharge (or less.)

He gets off easy for what? Supposedly having porn and having an affair? My read is that many of the people on FR are more upset that he's Muslim than for anything he actually did.

The claim that they can't try him because it will jeapordize national security doesn't hold up - the attorneys and judge are already cleared to view classified documents. Face it, the government majorly screwed up this case.
