Michael Flynn. Convicted felon. Should he still receive benefits as a retired military general? Should he now be court-martialed?

Under Article 2 of the UCMJ, the Army maintains court-martial jurisdiction over retired personnel. Army Regulation 27-10, Military Justice, states “Retired members of a regular component of the Armed Forces who are entitled to pay are subject to the provisions of the UCMJ.

So the FBI can lie to you and not be punished but if you lie to the FBI then you go to jail. Something is wrong here.

The man was a general and your telling me he didn’t know the law. He worked for foreign governments and did not report it. He lied to the vice president, and you are defending him

LTC Gary Earls - LTG Flynn is a 3 star general. A specialist knows that you never lie to a federal law enforcement officer.

I say leave his military pension alone if his infractions did not occur in service to the military. They are unrelated.

CDR Cynthia Ramsey - Pathetic. On what planet did you deserve the rank of CDR? Did you ever take THE OATH? It's obvious you have NO IDEA what form of government we have. dEmOcRaCy?? You. are. an. IDIOT. READ OUR CONSTITUTION. We are a CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC... there is a HUGE difference between the two. FIGURE IT OUT. Nazi Germany was a "democracy". Yeah, "socialist" was the word before 'democracy'. I get the impression that's what you think we are. You should be shot for abetting TREASON.

Sgt Robert Albertson You should be removed from this app for violent rhetoric. Flynn is trying to destroy the country. He should be prosecuted for any and all crimes committed. He was pardoned once, hopefully not again

I'm of the opinion that Gen. Flynn should not be punished twice for the same offense.

Amn Joseph H. - Are you deliberately ignoring this guy trusted with national security secrets was taking money from an enemy country not automatically a traitor? What about members of Congress and the current President?

I believe every member of the military is a U.S. citizen and the laws of the land still apply to all citizens. Therefore, it would be a violation of our laws to try a citizen twice for the same offense. Yes, I was subject to the UCMJ when I served in the Army. I didn't agree with the double jeopardy then and I am of the same opinion now.
Just sayin'.

In my opinion, While I agree with you SGT Meza, that general fin should not be punished twice. In actuality, he has not been punished at all. He was convicted once and he then used his get out of jail free pass (Presidential Pardon), but that doesn’t relieve him of the military responsibilities annd regulations since he WAS using the cloak of General no one relieved him of the UCMJ articles.it would not be double jeopardy..
