Sinclair's case highlights a BROKEN UCMJ system
PLEASE READ this with an OPEN mind: My point of posting this is to highlight the BROKEN PROCESS of UCMJ not to condone either side.
Why do we continue to view SEX as a crime...??
If there was proof of an actual assault I say FRY HIM...If there is proof that the accuser is lying then I say FRY HER, but what do we really know here?
Both sides talk about having consensual sex...an alleged "open marriage"...and over a long period of time...3 years...4 different women...
Under UCMJ, an inappropriate relationship with a subordinate is and can be a serious problem...but CRIMINAL???
But, this added "death threat" allegation...
Sadly you have to ask for proof...a persons life on the line here...Prove it...its the LAW...
PROVE IT...an allegation alone should NEVER be enough to CHARGE OR CONVICT anyone...Its the basis of our legal system...(I will say it again...if there is PROOF that he did in fact threaten her, then I say FRY HIM...)
So, if you will read the timeline here and apply REASONABLE DOUBT to just these few reported facts...What's TRUE and what's FALSE?
We have got to STOP this sick obsession with SEX as a CRIME.
Rape is a CRIME...Physically ASSAULTING a person is a CRIME...violence and intent...that is what we use to define an act as a crime.
We are supposed to apply a determination of "INTENT" to defining an act as a crime and with that there has to be PROOF...
We are supposed to find the PROOF through the conduct of a FAIR and THOROUGH investigation of BOTH sides and either you have a CRIME or you DO NOT.
AS always, I have to tie this back to my case...I experienced it first hand...I can tell you for a FACT that this is NOT how UCMJ works.
A FALSE ALLEGATION...NO Investigation...NO EVIDENCE...even with the testimony of physical witnesses to attest, in detail, that the allegations were IMPOSSIBLE and FALSE...all to NO AVAIL...
The US MILITARY has turned into a GANG of COWARDS at the General OFFICER rank...
All of them afraid of "political oversight"..None of them with the balls to make a decision based on FACTS and STAND BY IT
I am sick and tired for the REAL victims of assault being treated like crap...
I am sick and tired of the REAL victims of FALSE ALLEGATIONS and a BROKEN UCMJ system...
I am sick and tired of US Senators that have NEVER spent a day in uniform pontificating what's right and wrong without speaking to all the victims of this broken system and "playing" to emotions...
The few incredible advocates and victims of real assaults that I have had the honor to talk to, agree and understand my position...
I stand with the victims of real sexual assaults and I ask them to stand with me as well...
FALSE ALLEGATIONS are REAL and the UNIFORM CODE of MILITARY INJUSTICE is also REAL...
We are getting to a point under UCMJ, that any and all allegations lead to a criminal trial...GUILTY until proven Innocent...and I dare say we are there already.
Only when WE can come together are WE going to force the changes that WE all want and that the young volunteers, men and women, that make up our Armed Forces all deserve.
