Is this personal?

To whom are you referring Parker or Rosa?

Parker did a lot of irresponsible things, that resulted in the death
of a fellow airman. Rosa let him off with a reprimand.

If I had killed someone, I would have stood trial, and if convicted,
would have been sentenced. There is little question that Parker
should have been subject to the same sort of judicial due process. The
only conclusion one can draw is, that our military is above the law.

We all share the NAS. I would prefer not to end up like Jacques
Olivier splattered over four acres of golf course as a result of lax
USAF discipline. I know neither men, so my issue with these events
not personal, but their actions have sensitized me to the lack of
responsibility apparently rampant in the military. And I'm
uncomfortable seeing my tax dollars funding the death of a fellow
airman, and the injustice perpetrated against us civilians.

So now that I've answered your question, perhaps you'll be good enough
to answer one for me. Do you feel that justice was done in this case?

I haven't a clue. Without access to all the original data (as one might
have in an MIR), I wouldn't formulate an opinion. I doubt you've had such
access, but you've got your opinion, expressed in voluminous and vehement
detail. So be it.
