#1 ...I said it before - PFC Snookums should have gone with an Army ADC instead of some hotshot civilian counsel, because she'll be looking through the plastic at her baby while the lawyer gives interviews on how unfair the system is and reminds her family that another payment is due.
Don't know if anyone saw the wire service stories on Thursday re the hearings: turns out she was on restriction to her quarters (not permitted to leave unescorted except for work, chow, chapel and latrine) because she had a bad habit of sneaking out after lights out and ending up in CPL Graner's bed, then sleeping all day at work. She'd been counseled FOUR times and was considered a serious problem child - but no heavy duty disciplinary action seems to have been taken against her. To put that in some sort of perspective, my experience in the USAF was for the first two offenses, a Letter of Counseling (first one almost always remained in flight, the second usually went to their jacket at the squadron), third was a Letter of Reprimand (direct to the squadron jacket and sometimes to the official jacket depending on the offense). Fourth offense was almost certainly an Article 15 (or Motivational Flight, again depending on the offense and the individual). WHY were PFC Snookums and CPL Graner still in posession of all their pay and stripes? (That was a rhetorical question, BTW, supervision in the 519th seems to have been about as abysmal as I have EVER seen.) And NO one ever seems to have asked why a file clerk - for 'twas PFC Snookums' MOS - was hanging around a PRISON, f'r God's sake.
