I don’t think the author understands the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) at all. PFC Bradley Manning of Wikileaks “fame” is also receiving his pay until he is convicted, too. That’s how it works.
Yup. Also, the author keeps saying that Hasan is eligibile for pay and other benefits because the attack was classified as "combat-related" - not only is that an incorrect statement of military law under hte UCMJ, but it's factually incorrect. The attack has NOT been classified as "combat-related," which is why the victims of the attack are NOT eligibile for certain benefits.
“...receiving his pay until he is convicted,...that’s how it works.”
We don’t have to like it. And anyway, Hasan will never be tried.
He will never be tried. Prove me wrong.
