Correct. But let’s see that excuse fly if you fail to render proper C&C when they walk by.

The fact that an appeal was refiled without citing anything could show the MC is just going through the motions now; just doing what they are expected to do since they have so much tied up in this at this point – but not really wanting to pursue this strenuously…

Let me rephrase Private Nitpick,

we render honors even if we do not respect the person we are rendering.

First, a couple of years Shore Patrol duty at NAS Atsugi doesn’t qualify me to get into the legal points of this discussion. Second, most E-1 to E-3 Guard House/Sea Lawyers, at least in my experiance, get it better than Wade has. I expect that Any PFC there ends in civilian.

I was saying I am a half JAG.

I am in Law School

Ive been in the Navy for 9 years.

Make that one and a half JAG’s.

Squid Shark on June 19, 2008 at 11:42 PM

Hey! I am certified and qualified under Article 27(b) and sworn under Article 42(a), UCMJ. I have not acted in any manner which might tend to disqualify me in this court-martial.

…or something…

nothing to see here folks—move along

Just for the record, here is a JAG officer telling you that you are a clueless jackass when it comes to MJ (or, for that matter, just sounding like anything other than a 13 year old tapping away without thinking).

The Marines are trying to prosecute Marines.

Who else would the Marines prosecute?

The border patrol has its hands tied. The Marines are trying to prosecute Marines.

Does anyone here feel like it’s worth protecting this nation?

Instead, by trying (too late) to avoid looking stupid, they are going to also make themselves look petty, vindictive, and compromised by considerations other than justice for our Marines.

Pathetic and disgraceful.

This is the pressure that the military leaders get from the press more than anything. There is a fear of being accused of a “cover up” if they fail to go after them.

It is the price of being in the all-volunteer military of a free country.

The price Murtha will have to pay is that he will likely get his butt sued and he will lose.

Wade on June 19, 2008 at 4:46 PM

Well you act like a Private, I would expect better than your toll-like behavior, Gunny.

Let me rephrase Private Nitpick,

Squid Shark on June 19, 2008 at 4:34 PM

Another name caller. BTY it is Gunny Nitpick.

Wade on June 19, 2008 at 4:39 PM

You have no message, dear messenger, save that Murhta is a jerk, a point we likely all agree on.

This is not about me, go troll somewhere else.

Wade on June 19, 2008 at 4:33 PM

Pot meet kettle

He was speaking about not knowing how the Marines “roll” with respect to how evaluation reports ya tool…

greenonions on June 19, 2008 at 4:33 PM

Sounds like you are straight out of the leftists talking point book. Attack the messenger, by calling names and then tell the world what others mean. End of discussion with you.

Murtha is a jerk and will not be made to look wrong. One of his comments to an interview is the Hidatha issues were not over. He will hound the Marines to get his way.

This is not about me, go troll somewhere else.

Wade on June 19, 2008 at 4:33 PM

What kind of contribution did you make when you do not know how they troll?

(incidentally, it IS about you insofar as you are an ignorant conspiracy minded twazzle who doesn’t know an Article 15 from a 15-6 and continues to spout off on the nature of MJ)

Wade on June 19, 2008 at 4:32 PM

Let me rephrase Private Nitpick,

Noted. When you’ve earned it, please let us know…

greenonions on June 19, 2008 at 4:32 PM

What contribution did you making in the military when you do not know how they roll?

Wade on June 19, 2008 at 4:28 PM

I know how the military justice system works.

I was referring to the FITREP, I saw alot of the code words in there that I have used in the past to downgrade a person. I do not know how the Marine Corps and Army work specifically, but I understand that they have the same philosophy WRT FITREPS.

Ever heard “salute the rank, not the man”

Nothing to do with respect. Many officers are not respected and no number of laws or rules can change that.
