3. Cadets and officers lie under oath in court. It is unacceptable to lie in court. The military has determined that it is essential this case be investigated and prosecuted to the full extent of the law. A sub-group in the military can't make its own rules of military morality.

In United States Military, particularly the Army, all soldiers both men and women, take an oath to protect and defend the United States Constitution. However, there is one soldier named Bowe Bergdahl who thought that it would be okay to just leave his post, without letting his squad know where he was going, and thus creating a controversy that has rocked the political environment in Washington D.C. After listening to the Serial Podcast by Sarah Koneig and hearing all the interviews from political leaders, former squad mates, and even reporters, it is fair to come to the conclusion that Bowe Bergdahl deserves to be charged with Desertion and Misbehaving before the enemy. In this essay, I am going to briefly explain why Bergdahl deserves to

Robert Bowdrie (Bowe) Bergdahl is a United States Army sergeant who left his post in Afghanistan 2009 purposefully and intentionally. The Bowe Bergdahl case is an odd case that sometimes does not make much sense. He will be facing court-martial sometime this year for is desertion and misbehavior. The Uniform Code of Military Justice is very similar to regular law but has some adjustments that pertain to certain military rules and regulations. Bergdahl violated one of the most important rules and the first General Order, these orders are a soldier’s guideline on how to conduct

Edward is a 27 year old, single, African American male. Edward is in the army reserve, and was deployed to Afghanistan for 9 months. His company was stationed to an Air force base where Afghanis were imprisoned for terroristic crimes. He states that because the Air force base had lots of expensive military equipment and planes, the Afghanis attempted to bomb the base regularly in hope of causing the United States monetary loss, and casualties. When the bombs would go off, Edward and the rest of the soldiers had to go into underground bunkers. This was late night or early morning. Edward said that when he first arrived in Afghanistan, he witness a plane crash near the base. He said that it was very frightening even though it

I am Krystal Hentkowski. In this paper, I will try to explain an event that I feel will help me to achieve

This paper explores my future pathway to the career of a criminal defense attorney. I will be discussing the history of lawyers by explaining how they started in Greece and how they developed to what they are in the present. The primary source I explore in my paper is Barack Obama. Barack Obama was a civil rights lawyer and a professor. My paper discusses how Obama became a lawyer, where he studied, and how he came to be a civil rights lawyer. Stanford is the university where I choose to research. It has everything a lawyer needs to study to become a lawyer. The paper discusses the classes as well as the skills required to become a lawyer. Finally, I conclude with a discussion about why becoming a criminal defence attorney is a suited career

Law enforcement in the United States is one of three major components of the criminal justice system of the United States, along with courts and corrections (Schmalleger, 2009). Although there is an inherent interrelatedness between the different groups that make up the criminal justice system based on their crime deterrence purpose, each component operates independently from one another (Schmalleger, 2009). For example, the judiciary is vested with the power to make legal determinations regarding the conduct of the other two components (Schmalleger, 2009).

Defenders of the ban and of the military's current policy dispute the notion that military personnel should be afforded the same constitutional protections as civilians. Policy supporters maintain that the military is a unique institution with its own set of rules. Opponents of the current policy believe that while the military may have a

The American view, however, prevailed, that an evidentiary hearing, presided over by impartial judges, was called for. That ‘impartiality’ was one of the major issues associated with the trials. As two centuries of American jurisprudence, meaning the theory or philosophy of law, prove, justice is hard enough to achieve in civilian court, despite the Constitutions guarantees of due process and other limits on the rights of the state acting against a defendant. International politics, especially when it shades over into war, involves values the opposite of those we cherish in domestic affairs, and glorifies force and fraud in

The criminal justice system has evolved on the decades. From initially being constituted by the victim to eventually becoming constituted by written laws. There have been several changes made within the justice system, so in the following I will discuss my perspectives of the researched information and the noted changes of a system that was created by the people for the people.

Had Lt. Ackermann had told ADA Elni the result of our investigation as we had told him, the DA’s Office may still have been disappointed that a prosecution for the crime mentioned was not possible, but most of the concern expressed in this letter would have been dispelled. It also demonstrates another failure of the Recon Unit mismanagement: If things go well, management takes the accolades – if not, the fault goes to the Unit.

Law enforcement was derived from the military both in structure and values, it appears that a portion of the media wants the public to believe that law enforcement has transformed into “Rambo Cops”. Furthermore, the media also insinuates that there is something fundamentally wrong with the military, and any resemblance of such is also wrong. Radley Balko, an author, with The Washington Post, wrote an article titled “Rise Of The Warrior Cop”, which was published in The Wall Street Journal. The author writes a very descriptive review of several cases that went awry during tactical operations, furthermore, the author attempts to

Whereas the second alternate solution discussed above would involve punitive justice by invoking the established military justice protocol prescribed for situations such as Specialist Garrett’s assault, the focus of punitive justice on making the offenders “pay” for their crimes does not fix the problem of the shattered cohesiveness of the Company unit in question. Rather, an approach emphasizing restorative justice would look to find a way to help reconcile the deeper, underlying tensions and conflicts that gave rise to the assault in the first place. By emphasizing restorative justice instead of punitive justice, Captain Ronald could reasonably hope to be able to both address the seriousness of what happened to Specialist Garrett and establish a precedent that such assaults will not be tolerated in Charlie Company while at the same time be able to develop and retain the necessary cohesion that will allow Charlie Company to successfully carry out its mission when it becomes deployed in the near

Hello Krystal, I agree with you that seeing so many people still homeless and living on the streets while there are a high number of shelters are very confusing. This could be partially due to shelters rules; for instance, some shelters only allow people stay in the facility at night which would cause an influx of homeless people on the streets until they are able to get back in the building(s). It seems that you were able to get a well-rounded interview experiences by being able to speak with in people living with that shelter and the police officer. The story you mentioned about one of the women’s brother refusing to help her leave the abuse relationship due his believe about marriage was very sad to hear. It is hard for me to image that
