Status
editIs he fired ... or is he still there? The article says he was fired ... the Info Box says "years of service = 1988 to present". Thanks. Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 21:33, 25 April 2022 (UTC)
No. The info is wrong. Fired in the military means discharged. I will be editing that bc being relieved of command is not being discharged. He didn't even get confined, just a forfeiture of pay Chefs-kiss (talk) 13:10, 27 February 2023 (UTC)

Regarding sexual assault claim deletion
editI don't think it's proper to include it in the section it was included. If the writer wants to include a section about it with reporting then go ahead. I however oppose it. For the following reasons:
1. He was charged with art. 120 which under the UCMJ is titled "Rape and Sexual Assault Generally', this means he was charged with sexual assault.
2. The counts themselves are specifications. It's true that art. 120(3) is for sexual contact but the charge is 120.
3. The listed articles are all military news. To claim widely reported is not substantiated. Perhaps a list of more civilian news is more apt. Chefs-kiss (talk) 13:34, 27 February 2023 (UTC)
