Earlier today, the President granted a full, complete, and unconditional pardon to individuals with court-martial convictions for violations of former Article 125 of the UCMJ based on conduct that involved consensual, private conduct with persons age 18 and older. Individuals convicted of attempts, conspiracies, and solicitation to commit qualifying former Article 125 offenses under Articles 80, 81, and 82 of the UCMJ are also pardoned. The proclamation applies to qualifying court-martial convictions occurring between May 31, 1951, and December 26, 2013. To qualify for a pardon certificate, a person must not have engaged in conduct contained in the exceptions listed in the proclamation. Individuals who meet the criteria and receive a pardon certificate may be eligible for additional VA benefits earned during periods of military service. The pardon does not change an individual’s character of service. VA encourages any person discharged from the military under dishonorable conditions who receives a pardon certificate to apply to their Board of Correction of Military or Naval Records. More information about this Presidential pardon and VA benefits is available on VA’s website: https://lnkd.in/eUTJkbDz

PROUDLY SERVING OUR COUNTRY I recently put on the uniform in my Navy Reserve JAG Officer capacity providing support to Navy Defense Service Office Pacific, assisting with advising and defending servicemembers who find themselves in legal trouble – facing either administrative separation from service or court martial after being formally accused of a crime in violation of the Uniform Code of Military Justice. Here’s part of the office mission statement: We strive to be a beacon of justice for those service members who are accused of wrongs; they will receive equal justice under the law. We have but one mission, one that our Navy and our country trust us to meet – to zealously represent and assist Sailors, Marine, and Coast Guardsmen through their adverse legal challenges. We support the force by resolving our client’s legal issues to get them back out to the fight, where they chose to serve. We do our jobs with pride in what we do, dedication to our clients and their case, and with an unbreakable respect for the rule of law. We walk with our clients, side by side, through their legal challenges – proud defenders of the Constitution. This statement encapsulates the role of a good criminal defense lawyer – zealous representation, guiding clients through very difficult challenges, walking side by side, defending the Constitution and getting our clients back out to the fight. If you or a loved one finds themselves facing difficult criminal charges, give me a call and you can expect nothing less. #militarylaw #criminaldefense #whitecollar

A court-martial is a serious legal proceeding that is exclusive for active military members and requires skilled representation. It deals with offenses against military law and the consequences can include civilian consequences, like imprisonment, as well as military consequences like a punitive discharge. Our military defense attorney has the experience to defend you effectively in court and ensure that justice is served. #TLG #AdamTouma #CourtMartial #MilitaryLaw #LegalDefense https://vist.ly/39fmh

This MAGA moronic clown is forgetting a small detail, the Armed forced don't pledge to politicians, they pledge to the constitution and the country. He is in a mental Ju... off. The military pledge, often referred to as an oath or an enlistment contract, is a formal commitment made by service members to serve their country. In the United States, for example, the Oath of Enlistment includes pledging to support and defend the Constitution against all enemies, to obey the orders of the President and the officers appointed over them, and to bear true faith and allegiance to the same. The minute that moron that he is a civilian as secretary of defense break the federal law yea will have war that's for sure, we have almost 12 million veterans with combat experience willing to kill or die to protect our constitution, just try and he will see, it's not the same calling the devil than see it coming. The Posse Comitatus Act is a United States federal law (18 U.S.C. § 1385, original at 20 Stat. 152) signed on June 18, 1878, by President Rutherford B. Hayes that limits the powers of the federal government in the use of federal military personnel to enforce domestic policies within the United States. Congress passed the Act as an amendment to an army appropriation bill following the end of Reconstruction and updated it in 1956, 1981 and 2021. The Act originally applied only to the United States Army, but a subsequent amendment in 1956 expanded its scope to the United States Air Force. In 2021, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2022 further expanded the scope of the Act to cover the United States Navy, Marine Corps, and Space Force. The Act does not prevent the Army National Guard or the Air National Guard under state authority from acting in a law enforcement capacity within its home state or in an adjacent state if invited by that state's governor. The United States Coast Guard (under the Department of Homeland Security) is not covered by the Act either, primarily because although it is an armed service, it also has a maritime law enforcement mission. The title of the Act comes from the legal concept of posse comitatus, the authority under which a county sheriff, or another law officer, can conscript any able-bodied person to assist in keeping the peace.

Proud to launch a new series in partnership with The Lawfare Institute explaining the limitations, drawbacks, and dangers of deploying the military on U.S. soil – from the perspective of a range of scholars, veterans, and former Defense Department officials. The first piece in the series, written by George Washington University School of Law professor and national security expert Laura Dickinson, explains why the president’s ability to deploy the military under the Insurrection Act has been – and should be – narrowly understood, for both constitutional and practical reasons. Future entries will discuss a range of other legal and practical concerns, including the national security costs of domestic deployments. These perspectives can help inform the responsible exercise of the commander-in-chief’s power to deploy the military on U.S. soil – a power which requires great care & all due consideration for the trust, safety & freedom of Americans https://lnkd.in/eqWvrk4z
