our glorious leader's words... Mac's, "or not," is how much of us felt after the Boykin incident, which has been shall we say... put to the side, succesfully by senior officers in the military.
Her final comment, Mac, "Or NOT..."tells the story, at least in my view.
Now truth is, what she said, and this is the insight from the armed forces, is exaclty the way many military members felt like... OR NOT...
I'll admit, I had the priviledge, (0r not) of watching this while my husband was still in, and got to hear the anger by many senior NCOs, at boykin getting away wiht murder... everybody knew that if they said, this is a (insert religion here) in uniform, they woudl have had the UCMJ broken in their backs. Her statement sums it up for me... or not, the UCMJ was not broken in the back of Boykin as much as we wrote, pleaded and asked.
As to Karpinsky, I dunno about you, but sent the photos to Congress, in the last 24 hours they have moved from under investigation to most likely court martial, general court martial.
Oh and I forgot to add, I also served in uniform (not the US Military, as a Medic) and taking any stance while in uniform that could be misconstrued as an official statement, was a no-no. Hence why I possibly have an insight that most do not... now if Bush manages to stay in power, many more will have the honor (or not) of getting this insight, we call it a draft...
