Isn't charging them a bit excessive?

[stokes]

Nope, they will first be charge with section 129 of the National Defense Act: Conduct unbecoming, then maybe 1 or 2 ore things, but 129 is the "Catch-all" and everyone in the forces who gets charged will also see this in addition to the specific charge for their offense. Usually carries a fine up to 60% of monthly pay or up to 21 days confinement, but the good general will just get a fine and a reprimand.

Actually he has two counts of NDA-129 and one of NDA-139, obstruction of justice. That one could smart a bit.

She has a single catch all 129 charge.


Of course, if you read the headline from CP, he has been charged with sexual misconduct. Ahhh nothing like lying through their teeth for a catchy headline.

Looks good on em

They would both have to be certifiable to take it beyond a summary trial. And her case especially, given the coverage this has recieved, any assisting officer capable of standing up right will get it dismissed due to the contamination of the coverage.
