#1 too bad we cannot bring back the firing squad....seriously, what a bunch of selfish assholes - I hope they receive general court martials across the board and hard time in Kansas. I imagine one of these clowns will roll over on the others and get a plea down.

#2 According to an article I posted yesterday, the civilian woman who was selling the stuff on Ebay has been very helpful in building cases against the others -- as well she should, since Erika Jardine was the one who went looking for suppliers on the base to begin with.

#3 Jardine got a slap on the wrist compared to the punishment she originally faced: .... a maximum possible sentence of 20 years imprisonment, a $500,000 fine, 3 years of supervised release and a $200 special assessment.

#4 In the past week or so the MSM has been bleating on about the (Marine or soldier, don't remember which) who was mustering out of the military and was required to pay for the body armor his buddies had to cut off him when his humvee got boomed.

This story might provide some answers as to why.

#5 The emphasis on punishment seems limited to the marines (not fit to use a capital 'M'), and while I find it beyond disgusting behaviour, what is going to happen the the civilians? Are they civil service or contractors? They should be receiving the same sort of treatment as the uniformed member ( less any "Special High Intensity Training" that Real Marines provide to these sh!tbags. I do not want to see the civvies let off just because they are civvies. send all of them to Kansas.

#7 I would be surprised to see that happen unless they dropped the dime on the rest of the gang. It will likely take them longer to see the slammer because things like this just work slower in civilian coruts. One area where the military is more efficient.

#8 Oh for the good old days, prior to theUCMJ,when these shitbirds would dealt with under the "rocks and shoals" system and placed in a "red-line brig." Disgrace.
