Thought a fake by some, a US Soldier violates the UCMJ risking prison. He says he is leaving the Army, endorsing Ron Paul in uniform and showing his ID revealing his name and rank - Reddit

He got some balls.

It sucks but he's gonna end up in prison, or worse.

It won't be as bad as you think. Take it from someone who saw people arrested for cocaine in my platoon. IF he goes to jail, it'll be for maybe a month or so, and it's just food and sleep---a welcome release. Either way, he'll get some pissed off bitching, which is just a daily occurrence that bounces off, some bullshit duty, a demotion to Private of some kind, and then the release he seeks from the Army. After three months, he'll be able to upgrade his discharge officially to Honorable.

He has a couple months of suck ahead of him, but he isn't ruining his life by protesting.

I don't know that he'll get prison time. If he does I'll be emailing away to every newspaper & TV station I can find.

When his chain of command finds out about this, I expect he'll be punished under Article 15. A guess is loss of rank, 45 days extra duty & 45 days confinement to his barracks and 50% reduction in pay; followed by a less than honorable discharge.

This guy knows what he's doing. He has my complete respect.

 

[DarkLaw]

That was extremely powerful and moving.

To the point I was almost getting choked up.
Wow.

DIGG IT UP....

[Akus]

that was stupid

 

[CaliforniaGold]

What a brave young man.
He knows what he is jeapordizing but his country is worth more to him then his freedom.
There is hope for America yet!
Thank God!

I find it despicable that a commissioned soldier is not allowed to criticize the military.

Conversely, I believe it was unwise for the guy to do it in his uniform.

 

[Shink]

that was stupid

Guess your sig explains your post.

 

[JJ2K1]

If he is unhappy, then why the hell did he re-enlist in the first place?

 

[specialkornflake]

Could someone please explain what he has violated by way of the UCMJ?

 

[Akus]

Guess your sig explains your post.

Well it was. There are legal ways to support Ron Paul. We don't need to go to jail or immolate ourselves in protest. And this will give more food for Hannity/Limbaugh/Savage crowd. Oh look he is a traitor, he is in jail because while voting for that isolationist RP, he disclosed his identity.
