MilFraud: Where have all the Honest soldiers gone?

CW5 Montgomery--the man who never sleeps! We need to create a special Expert badge for you...yes, Organizational Justice is important, people must know it exists and that it is fair and impartial. You are right, of course, we must begin with that, in a progressive way with appropriate penalties that fit the crime such as in this case of real fraud involving a commissioned officer. On the other hand, there can be a real lack of leadership on the smaller stuff that should not be career-enders.. Important lessons can be learned in the junior ranks that will make a better person and a better soldier. When a person is found guilty--and only then--we should stripe the buttons, ribbons, bars and stars and send them off to Leavenworth with a long time to think. Trouble is, i want to be darned sure they are guilty--have seen way too many railroad jobs where the soldier was either disliked, slammed dunked by the people who were in fact, dishonest, or punished for one thing because he/she did something else that wouldn't stick.
