Whether I am military or non-military doesn't matter, the issue is fairness and you have already heard my opinion. By the way I am a Vietnam Veteran, infantry served 2 years but that doesn't matter.
Your right, it does not....completely different military now...

I await the outcome of the military trial and look forward to a reasonable and fair judgement.
Yep, and they may consider just booting him, but at least they'll find him guilty and then boot him....

What branch and MOS? What base were you out of? Not saying you display false honor but your credibility is in doubt.
So the question does matter, perhaps to explain your flip flopping on the subject and what YOU consider a fair judgment.

None of my combat Marine friends has anything good to say about him. They all think he is weak and a deserter

In all fairness, even the FAR LEFT media youngturks has nothing good to say about him
The fix is already in. The person who did the investigation got promoted and they are already saying he suffered enough and won't charge him with anything that will incarcerate him. This country is a joke anymore.

Yes, that has been suggested before and in all probability is factual. You can tell by those that deny it and their praise of those who have been influenced in their decision making, even prior to a decision has been made public.

As much as I hate to say it....you're probably right....chaps my ass to know because, in the end he will probably get an honorable discharge, and we'll have to pay for his disabilities...

Well that is irrational, just because you don't agree with a decision doesn't mean if wasn't done fairly. Granted he brought this on himself but you don't think mitigating factors should be considered?

Why is it irrational? Because it states your position is flawed? What mitigating factors? Did he leave his company without permission? Yes.
Did he lie about rational when re was returned and proclaimed thanks to those troops he despised? Yes.
Is he guilty of the charges? Yes
Nothing irrational about it, except to those like you who only believe what they wish.
If it is done by the actual words of the UCMJ he is guilty and deserves the proscribed punishment, regardless of your desires.
