Supreme Court: Military retirees can be court-martialed for crimes committed after service

Lt Col Scott Shuttleworth Clearly these two men didn’t understand their retirement status or just didn’t read the fine print when it comes to the amount of time after being honorably discharged, retirement or end of contract, you can be recalled to active duty for anything; to include court martial. One could laugh but there’s nothing funny about their crimes.

I agree wholeheartedly with MAJ James Woods' assessment!

Then should you not get the same respect and honor as a retired officer since you are technically still in?

1SG David Niles - I have never been disrespected on an installation.

Maj John Bell good thing about being a traffic light sabatuer is your only tool can be a torch set and if you do get caught you have a fake work order from your local street or highway dept telling you to remove that light. What could possibly go wrong?

CPL Steve Freeman - Nothing, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, could go wrong.

Maj John Bell I would even go as far as contacting the local relevant LEA to ask for help with traffic control...or an off duty mall cop. Because nothing says "legitimate traffic light maintanance" like an off duty mall security guy standing nearby eating cotton candy.

It is sad when we have to give up on our dreams. But I'll hope you are still enjoying retirement, Maj Bell.

Rodger that!
