#1 Clearly a good outcome for all. The 1Lt gets a promotion and there is no discovery to be obtained were the 1LT were to be tried in court.

#2 In a stunning display of latent disrespect for President Barack Obama and a complete disregard for the good order and discipline of the U.S. Armed Forces

In peace time military behaves like any other bureaucracy. But give them a few years of (even low intensity) conflict---and things change.

#3 Most LT's are young and impetuous. I hope this doesn't follow him to his next promotion board. By that time however, the truth should be out and he'll be a highly respected visionary and author.

#4 ..calling President Obama a "usurper" and "impostor" because he did not believe the President was a natural-born citizen.

I'm not a 'birther'. However, if the IL Donks can break the privacy of Gov. Ryan's sealed divorce decree to destroy his chances for the Senatorial seat then taken by Obama, the 'privacy' of Obama's records is forfeited as well on principle. Since we do not know have 'facts' before us, then the statements by the lieutenant can not be validated or invalidated. Short of a warrant to provide said copy of the certificate in the court of law in due process of the individual's right to defend himself, he remains innocent of any charges.

#5 This is why the American people ignore the mainstream media, over the entire presidency of G.H.W. Bush he was villianized, insulted, degraded, humiliated and lambasted by EVERY leftist organization. What was his response, what was his reaction, what was his comment, nothing, he took it AS A MAN with the understanding that you can NEVER make everybody happy as President. Now in our country ANYBODY says anything questioning obama and they are a racist, unpatriotic, a right winger or any other myriad names that the establishment has in their arsenal. So why should I care what this drivel says, that is written by some automaton that only writes what they are told to write, yeah great article.

That's me they're referring to! And I'll wear that badge with the honor until that communist is gone or I'm dirt napping.

#7 Amem, I am gun owning, God fearing, American loving, right wing radical RACIST and I am PROUD of it. The old saying goes sticks and stones but my .308 will hurt like a mofo.

#8 I'm sure you're not a real bigot, spanishman dear. Given the range of skin shades, religions, sexualities, native tongues and nationalities who post here, and the percentage that have or currently are serving... I'm just sure. I quite agree with what you wrote in #5, though, and want to welcome you to the Rantburg conversation. Are you really from Spain? I ask because we're not all American, either. :-)
