What I dont understand is if they have been convicted of assault or rape then how are they still in the Army? Wouldnt they be in Leavenworth? If not then the Commander who made that decision needs to be repremanded as well.

I'm sure there is an explanation for this. But Im sure nobody will agree to be the one giving the explanation

We had a Soldier in my old Unit back in fort hood who was a registered Sex Offender. We found out just by doing random checks on people, and this Soldiers picture was of him in his DCU uniform as a background photo on the registered sex offenders list. We notified the chain of command and it was kind of a in house type thing, then 6 months later I PCS'ed. I dunno if he is still in the Army now or not.

Offenders can't control the punishments they receive. I think the even bigger problem is Commanders who allow these fools to slip through with minimum consequences or under the rug in order to save face for their own butts. In my opinion they are worse than the offenders because they are fostering an environment where predators can thrive with get out of jail free cards.

My question would be how did they get in the Army in the 1st place, when I was on Recruiting duty, I vaguely remember sex offenses were one of those that didn't qualify for a moral waiver, so I am confused on this. And as an MP, I also thought that once you were charged and convicted either within the Army for a sex offense or through the civilian courts, you were done and gone anyway. So again, I ask how is this even feasible that these individuals are in the service in the 1st place.

I think he meant "It's about time. . ." that someone stood up for what's right, even if it ticked other people off.

If they had prior offenses, and if they managed to lie their way into the Military and then committed a sexual offense, then as in any situation, they should be convicted of the crime and do the time, then dishonorable discharge with no benefits and no chance to upgrade their dishonorable discharge......or, save the military the money and pass it over to a civilian court (hope they get it right).
