Do you think this marine is trying make it so he is not responsible for the damage to his body so as to not face punishment from the Corp and the UCMJ? I hope the lawyer for the players looks into this aspect.

The guy was involved in a fight, ok?

His CO is not going to take a favorable view of that any way you look at it. This has been covered already.

damage to his body has nothing to do with UCMJ. Drunk and Disorderly (Article 134), however, is definitely punishable - but if he plays the "I was defending myself", he'll probably be OK. If he was underage, that's another consideration for the military....

I can tell you that he'd definitely have to answer for any kind of fight--his fault or otherwise--and that it wouldn't be looked upon favorably. I don't think, however, that he'd risk a lot more trouble by lying to police and instigating a drawn out investigation just to avoid some EMI.

You never know, though.

I'm having a hard time wading through all the bullshite...

First I heard that some guy honked, got drug out of his truck and beat... then a marine comes running over to help him and they beat him up and he got kicked in the head. Is that still the story?

Also, is Andrew Lowery the marine?

As a Marine myself, I can tell you this guy is going to get hammered by his command. You see the way it works in the Marine Corps is when any Marine bring negative attention to the Marine Corps, he is going to be punished for his actions. Doesn't matter if he got his asse kicked or not.
