This is what resistance looks like. Resist bigots and authoritarians.
Way to go dumbasses, the father of the US army was a gay dude.
Nah, that just says they were roommates.
Hey just like my aunty and her female bff she lived with till her death!
That's just a Boston marriage
The one with the PS5
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
SHOOT them for trespass. They'd shoot YOU if you walked into their yard and stole their Trump flag.
This is Arlington VA, a very densely packed urban area. You don't want bullets flying everywhere.
They keep saying that about elementary schools too.
Fine, I can learn to use a compound bow.
There ya go, good for developing hand-eye coordination, upper body strength, and fine motor control. Archery is a fun and wholesome hobby.
Shovel them then. Or spank them a bit.
They're probably into that
Sounds like a couple guys who need to spend some time getting strong by making big rocks into smaller rocks.
Damn, I remember the reddit thread where everyone was like "that dude definitely looks like he's from Fort Myer."
Dude gave up one of the cushiest assignments in the military because he's afraid of rainbows.
Damn, how gay do you have to be to steal pride flags? These guys must be ultra-gay.
"holy shit that flag is fuckin sweet! I gotta have it!"
You guys like riddles? I've got a riddle for you: what's got two thumbs and a hate crime enhancement on their misdemeanor petty theft charge?
