In Response To: Good News! The Army is planning on giving the Deserter Bergdahl $300 thousand (Retired Mustang)

as a Summary Court Officer, Special Court member and also trial defense counsel and am proud that we Marines seem to get it right when holding trials and sentencing. Too bad others don't.
Perplexing to some - I once found a Marine Private guilty of AWOL but didn't sentence him to the brig or take money away. My commanding officer asked why. I replied he had nothing to give except his baby's milk and I wasn't going to take that away. My wife also took some groceries to the wife knowing she would need it. She likewise deserves a salute today as we celebrate Veterans Day.
