Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Fuck these cowards, I look forward to their sentencing and less-than-honorable-discharges.
Some military charges like conduct unbecoming would be nice, too. The military courts don't fuck around.
When in doubt, there's always UCMJ Article 134. It's a catch-all for things not specifically defined and could probably be added in with the theft charges or whatever they end up doing.
Yup, and failing that, good ol' Separation for the Convenience of the Government.
Separation?
?? you need to be more verbose with your queries - what part is confusing, the word separation or the part where someone's kicked out of gov't service?
Convenience of Government (COG)
A reason for separation from Active Duty which allows discharge before completion of the obligated period of service and is a factor in determining eligibility under Chapters 30 and 32. Service members must have served a minimum of 20 months of a two-year enlistment or 30 months of a three-year enlistment in order to retain eligibility when released for COG.
10 USC 921: Art. 121. Larceny and wrongful appropriation
Figure that one's a given. Wasn't sure if they'd slap on something additional for crimes of bias or otherwise pile on charges as an example to others.
You can get court-martialed for infidelity. I’d be shocked if they go free; theft of property, criminal trespass, conduct unbecoming, etc
