#2 The jury of five male Army officers

Must have been a Special Courts Martial rather than a General Courts Martial. Wonder why? Lesser penalties? England could have requested a General instead, but took the Special, maybe she already anticipated the outcome.

Fort Leavenworth is lovely this time of year.

So, so. Its that seasonal change period that is accompanied by the potential for tornados. Sort of nasty when you watch the clouds building strength above the Missouri sucking water out of the river. Most of the time, they usually just drift towards North Kansas City and the trailer parks. Unfortunately, by the time they process her through classification, it'll be too late to issue her a orange jumpsuit to join the grounds keeping teams from the USDB to police all that nice fall leaf collection.

#3 Bad move Lyndie, never should have turned down the offer for a lesser sentence. She will get an appeal because her lawyer is clearly stupid. But by that time she will have had a few months in the brig. She would not have gotten better treatment in a General Courts Martial, even if she had enlisted on the panel. Everyone in uniform hates these yahoos for making their job in the middle east that much harder. I will be surprised if she doesn't get close to the max sentence.

"Never take pictures of your crime-in-progress", hon. Repeat it 1,000,000 times.

#6 ""Never take pictures of your crime-in-progress""

The illegitimate baby was hard to deny too. In all of this, that baby is the ONLY one I feel sorry for.
