From what I've read, Milley is not insulated from a court martial by his pardon. So, to settle this matter, they need to proceed with trying him for what he was accused, or allow him to accept he is guilty, remove his pension, change his discharge to dishonorable, and let his legacy follow Arnold's. The crimes he has been accused of are serious; so serious the death penalty is a possible punishment. If he is innocent, then he can present his defense in a military trial. Until then, he should be treated as a criminal.
In Case You've Wondered
My blog is where my wandering thoughts are interspersed with stuff I made up. So, if while reading you find yourself confused about the context, don't feel alone. I get confused, too.
If you're here for the stories, I started another blog: scratchingforchange.blogspot.com
One other thing: sometimes I write words you refuse to use in front of children, or polite company, unless you have a flat tire, or hit your thumb with a hammer.
I don't use them to offend; I use them to embellish.

I'd think a Presidential Pardon covers military matters. But we are in strange times....
ReplyDeleteA presidential pardon doesn't cover UCMJ violations.
ReplyDeleteIf he can be court-martialed, then it's necessary. All facts need to be examined, he needs the chance to defend his actions, and if he was wrong, some sort of punishment is necessary.
ReplyDeleteAccepting the pardon, from what I know, establishes guilt according to law. Just taking down his pictures doesn't seem to be enough for the military to do to remove the tarnish.
