The Army increasingly allows soldiers charged with violent crimes to leave the military rather than

Stationed at Army posts thousands of miles apart, two soldiers faced a flurry of criminal charges after they allegedly assaulted women within days of each other in early 2017.

One soldier was accused of physically assaulting his wife and firing a gun as she tried to flee their home near Fort Hood in Texas. Police later found a bullet hole in a window screen.

The other told investigators in Alaska that he’d had sex with a fellow soldier who he knew was drunk and incapable of providing consent. They later found DNA evidence of his semen on her shorts.

Military prosecutors deemed the cases strong enough to pursue them in court. But the Army instead kicked the soldiers out, allowing them to return to civilian life with scant public record of the accusations against them.

1. Just like the Army promoted Mike Flynn's brother after they colluded about J6.

Both traitors. One gets a full pension, the other got promoted and got his own command in Hawaii.
A real punishment.

The Army should be ashamed of itself.

2. As bad a policy as the Catholic Church.

3. It almost goes without saying, but apparently not, that this action should be prohibited.

The Army should be required to see these investigations and prosecutions through before any separation is allowed. This action is outrageous and also totally unsurprising.

The fish rots from the head down. The media can miss me with their bullshit fawning over their next military general du jour -- McChrystal, Mattis, McMaster, Milley, any of the ones who don't start with M, whoever -- just because they're a career military person. As we've seen time and time again, universal presumptions of integrity are not warranted.
