The judge, on Friday, said he would have given a two-month forfeiture of pay, had it not been for the nine days Scheller spent in pre-trial confinement.

At least a dismissal wasn’t a part of the sentence so he can hopefully at least finish out 20 years.

So the spiteful frickers of our administration actually saved him a bit of money, at the end of the day, by thinking they were 'stickin' it to him!"?
Plus turning him into sort of a martyr to boot.

Did Milley clear that with the Chinese? He better clear it to make sure we are all good.

In the meantime, corrupt FBI McCabe gets his full pension laughing all the way to the bank.

So Eddie Gallagher was wrongfully put in the brig with his family raided at gunpoint for being a killer that maybe took some wussified SJW new team members red bull drink from the fridge
Andrew McCabe gets a mounted FBI badge, $700K and complete exoneration; for committing egregious abuse of power, political espionage, therefore treason against a President
And a Marine sounds the alarm in the best way he can in today's political social engineering military. And he is hauled into a court martial?
I give this Marine a pass for skipping the chain of command as he is/was grieving his buds killed in Afghanistan; and there is no proper recourse in Milley & Austin's military without breaking the UCMJ codes.

That is actually surprisingly fair given what transpired.

If he puts out a book, he will be wealthy from this. Good.

You know who else did this (bypass chain of command)? Eric Snowden and for the same reasons

It was the judge who saved him money. This is what the prosecution wanted...
quote:
The letter of reprimand was much less than what was recommended. The prosecution recommended a forfeiture of $5,000 of pay for 6 months and a letter of reprimand. The maximum penalty could have been forfeiture of 2/3 monthly pay for 12 months and a letter of reprimand.

That's not quite even a full monthly paycheck for a LTC. I hope he is able to get to retirement and have his full retirement pay and benefits. He earned them.

What was Vindman’s sentence? I’m having trouble remembering.

Wasn't he like 17 years in already? If so, a letter of reprimand shouldn't prevent him from getting to 18, which would effectively lock him in on his 20, unless he does something stupid...
He can expect shite assignments until then though and absolutely no advancement...

He’ll get that $5K back easily and then some.
He will ultimately prevail.

He can thank the Lord for the Judge who presided over his case. I am SURE the Judge was philosophically aligned with him and use his power to lessen the blow. I am also sure their are career Blue Suits in DOD that are fuming, wanting the LtCol hung from a yardarm.

Wouldn't be surprised if that judge's judicial career be negatively affected as a result of his leniency. They will make him an example for future reference.

Actually a lenient sentence. No dishonorable discharge, no reduction in rank and pay, no more brig time, still eligible for retirement.

He stuck by his principles.

Yea $5K is roughly 50% of an O-5s monthly salary before housing allowance is added. He’ll reach his 20 but when he applies for retirement, the LoR will trigger an Officer Grade Determination where it will likely be reviewed/determined that he be retired as a Major…he’ll retire with his pension but at O-4 levels instead of O-5 so it’s gonna cost him a lot more than $5K in the long run
