Introduction

Hello, fellow veterans and active duty members

My whole purpose of this blog is to open peoples’ eyes and minds on how the United States Uniform Code of Military Justice works or doesn’t work for us members. My webpage needs work and I hope a writer/editor would be interested in writing a book about this little known topic and share it with the outside world. This story starts from the bottom up. The latest part is placed on top, but the beginning is at the bottom of this site. Thank you for your understanding and support.

President Trump is the first president to step in for United States services members, since Nixon, also maybe a death sentence was commuted by another. You can look up that story online, at your fingertips. As a veteran, President Trump hit a homerun against the status quo of politics rule over the human suffering of its own military members, the USCMJ is always used to the fullest extent to protect itself from scrutiny. This enables the government to place all the blame on its members with impunity.

Our current president pardoned two junior officers and one enlisted non-commissioned officer, due to alleged prosecutorial misconduct and withholding exculpatory evidence. Fortunate for me it didn’t occur during my situation. I can only guess that this was a huge morale boost for military members of the United States armed forces, except for the political appointees and high end officers. Trump for the time being has put them on notice.

The United States Code of Military Justice has 3 types of court-martials. They are summary, special, and general. General court-martials are no joke while the others are peanuts and could be considered gifts for some soldiers to get out of dodge with slaps on the cheeks. From my experience and knowledge the following court-martials are like this:

Summary: Article 15 with deduction of pay for 2 months, 45 days extra duty, and possibility of loss of one rank.

Special Court-martial: Loss of rank(s), pay reduction, and prison time which is usually 6 years or less

General: all the above to include the Death Penalty

In some cases a service member can be placed back into active duty after he/she completes their sentence. The President of the United States is the Commander- in -Chief and is the final say!

I was convicted of a crime, when an abusive mouth sergeant saw it, his mission to ruin my military career. In the end we both ended up out of the service for different reasons. You can guess why I was discharged, but for him it was a forced medical reason after the incident. I still believe in the rule of law and I did my time. I still love my country and what it stands for. We need to stand up for our constitutional oath and defend our great republic against domestic and foreign enemies.
