If he called him a big prick rather than a little prick would he have got a harder or easier senstence.

Court Martial & punishment in the DF

Hi all,
Like all other DF cases that appear in court, there's a lot of background info that the public aren't getting. They're not seriously throwing the guy out for calling another guy a prick.If every guy who called another a prick, or worse, was thrown out of the DF, there'd be no-one left. He's being jettisoned because he's a pain in the neck. If he cops on and keeps his gob shut, he'll get to keep his pension and he can retire to write narky letters to newspapers.

The guy felt he was been binned in his tests because he had a run-in with
one of the instructors on an overseas trip
Having witnessed the standard of a couple of other individuals on the same
course who passed first go, I would have believed him too...

but the only thing the Court Martial can decide upon is that whats befoore itThings fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere***
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

The back round has no bearing unless its entered in evidence and unless the trail is based on a series of events.
Was he tried based on one remark or is this a culmination of events..?
If so each event has to be dealt with in a seperate case. This guy maybe a waste of space but I get the feeling he has been set up, either the full agenda is not on the table, in which case the whole thing is wrong, or the old boy network has conived to be rid of the guy!.
There won't be a civil judge in the country that will stand behind that punishment..if indeed the singular charge is the issue.
Work related stress illness..I'm amazed it even got to court.
Calling the CO a prick and getting your ticket.. no way.......! Something is badly wrong here. Worst case scenario loss of seniority ..couldn't even drop a rank if they wanted to.
Precedent set.. I would foresee full reinstatement with damages.
Firing squads and flogging are back on the agenda if this is upheld.
Not a witness in sight and this guy get the flick........try that in any other work place..I don't think so...Covid 19 is not over ....it's still very real..Hand Hygiene, Social Distancing and Masks.. keep safe

Is being called a "Prick" really worthy of the punishment recieved though? In a civilian court, you'd have to call a member of AGS a lot of things before you were arrested for using Threatening and Insulting Language (s6 Public order I think) and even then while the possible penalties may appear severe, they were a Maximum, rather than an expectation.
I seem to recall the Air Corpse have traditionally been fond of using the Court Martial to punish its officers for the more petty of offences.
I remember back in the 80s a number of them got carpetted for resigning their commission to go work for an unnamed airline.
Catch-22 says they have a right to do anything we can't stop them from doing.

Or maybe he was standing for something he believed in and believed the system/mentality of the established hierarchy was wrong or at the least needed to be brought to account.
I'm not on either side. But as Murph has said calling a senior rank a prick and being dismissed for it is a bit OTT"The Question is not: how far you will take this? The Question is do you possess the constitution to go as far as is needed?"
