  3. This is typical of the US military. They're very hard on legal processes for enlisted personnel. Even minor offenses can bring an article 15 punishment that stays with you forever. JAG is always looking to railroad someone because they can make their career advancement on things like convictions. During my time in the Army I had made a complaint about a NCO who I thought might be making inappropriate moves toward junior enlisted females. It wasn't even a major formal complaint or anything because I had no proof, but a few females had said some things to me that made me feel like they were not comfortable with what this NCO was saying. So I just let my other NCO know about it. Fast forward a few months and the shitty NCO in question is giving me and these few females jobs that were not really doable. Stripping humvees without giving us any tools and other such things. Setting us up for failure and then attempting to dish out article 15 punishments. I approached another NCO, an E-5, and lost my shit about it and he tried to have it straightened out, and ended up also trying to get me into trouble as I was leaving the Army. Civilians need to understand that the US military is not a bunch of honorable warriors. There are maybe around 10-15% of the military are actual warfighters who are worthy of the praise they receive. I always tried to be one of them, but it was hard, because that is not usually rewarded or encouraged anymore. I left after 8 years and two deployments because of that, and I turned down an offer to return as an officer (after I finished my degree) for the same reason.
