There is an expectation of how US Military personnel are to behave in any given situation.
Different people have different expectations. I am sure the residents of Viet Nam or Cuba might see it differently than say residents of NYC.

Including when hearing someone stating they raped someone. Its called 'professionalism'. It could be argued that the soldier was young or inexperienced if it was a non-officer in the regular infantry. Its not likely to be argued if the person is a military officer and/or part of an elite group of individuals in the military. That this guy was/is an officer (yes, a Noncom and as close to being a commissioned officer as one gets) and a Green Beret, means he behaved unprofessionally in a given situation that was outside of combat.
Unprofessional conduct can happen in combat also.

Should the guy be removed from the military? That's a good question. I would have to see all the evidence and listen to the arguments from the prosecution and the defense. The information presented in this article is very limiiting.
No he should not be removed. It is simple assault...the prescribed punishment is what it is and it is not 6,6 and a kick.
quote:
I suspect there is information that could be classified. So my civilian status will not likely get to see such material. Could that information sway my view? Maybe....
Not too much can be confidential about some fool loosing his temper.
quote:
If somewhere to shove the President of the United States (whom is a military person under our form of laws and government).
No he is not. Our system requires a civilian to be the commander and chief of the armed forces. He is not subject to court martial.
quote:
Be they military or civilian, would they be tried in court for charges against them? Yes.
Civilian or military they would both be tired in a civilian court. The military person though would also face a court martial after he finished with his civilian issues. The military would have some hefty charges not limited to simple assault. They would probably include mutiny.
quote:
Could a military person be not just stripped of their rank but removed from the US Military with a dishonorable discharge? Yes.
No. Removed from the service with a general or higher discharge, yes. A DD requires loss of all rank.
