"Ensign" Kelly (Ret), the vast majority of retired combat veteran officers can't stand your arrogant, sanctimony. We are all sick of your juvenile whining. You broke the law. You know it. Everyone else knows it. Just apologize, take your punishment and be a man for a change. Just quit this whiny little girl act! It isn't working.
I served a few more years of active duty than you. I am a combat veteran who retired at exactly the same paygrade as you. What you did was seditious and contrary to good order and discipline. You tried to incite mutinous actions by the most junior members of the military and you know it. What you did was absolutely despicable and totally lacking in honor.
