The very existence of an investigation is a clear message that only partisanship on behalf of the left will be tolerated in the U.S. military. [More]
Here's the part that I'd like some input on:
If Clark receives an administrative reprimand after all this, it will either stop his advancement until he is forced out of the Marines or force him out of the Marines simply with an administrative separation.
Wouldn't he have the right to refuse and demand a court-martial trial? Would there then be a potential for this?
If they are tried and convicted in the appeals court, the case reaches the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces. If a service member is convicted in this court, they would likely receive a dishonorable discharge, a bad-conduct discharge, or, in the case of an officer, a dismissal.Because we know what that could mean.
