15. Perhaps you might actually cite to the case you are talking about

One instance is not "routinely", but perhaps you might identify the case in question. If you are talking about persons being court-martialed after service for acts committed during active service, that is not the same thing.

I actually did research into the question, which is why I pointed out to you that the US District Court for DC considers it unconstitutional.

You want Trump to have had the power to lock up Air Force Reserve Command Colonel Ted Lieu. I get it. It's not happening.

You are thinking like my mom on this JustAnotherGen Feb 2022 #1

sure 40RatRod Feb 2022 #4

Totally agree. Did he get a blanket pardon from tfg? notinkansas Feb 2022 #2

Flynn is still doing this shit. Pardons don't cover future offenses. lagomorph777 Feb 2022 #30

I don't believe it was a blanket pardon. hippywife Feb 2022 #45

Let us know if you get an answer Bettie Feb 2022 #3

Definitely let us know! calimary Feb 2022 #27

Indeed. Shrike47 Feb 2022 #6

"the military has routinely recalled retired personnel for court martial" Effete Snob Feb 2022 #7

Perhaps instead of accusing him of not telling truth, you might suggest first he could be mistaken. Rabrrrrrr Feb 2022 #8

An accusation of what? Effete Snob Feb 2022 #9

Claiming someone is not telling the truth kcr Feb 2022 #11

Agree. Ligyron Feb 2022 #14

100% agree obamanut2012 Feb 2022 #33

I absolutely agree. ShazzieB Feb 2022 #48

I found the part about an NCO being court-martialed for not returning his wife's calls to be BlackSkimmer Feb 2022 #34

Not necessarily so... slightlv Feb 2022 #36

Not returning phone calls to a spouse is VERY different from neglecting a child. BlackSkimmer Feb 2022 #37

For an interesting but unrelated example of court martialling a retiree COL Mustard Feb 2022 #44

As former military, myself, slightlv Feb 2022 #38

Somehow he showed up as a potential Facebook friend suggestion COL Mustard Feb 2022 #41
