Eh, he hates her. I doubt he'll pardon her.
I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

Minor Quibble:

He was charged a long time, then was an Article 32 hearing, with a referral to the Convening Authority (the infamous "Cut the kid a break" recommendation).

The Convening Authority (FORSCOM Commander) did the smart thing and kicked it to a Courts Martial. 

Not sure how the CA will pick the officers/NCO's to be on the jury, but when I was in, there was a duty roster.  Other than MP's and JAG's being permanently excused, the only way to avoid the duty was that it was one of your soldiers on trial. 
Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

doubt that.  I'd say barack has thrown him under the bus already.  Maybe Bowe was not a good enough muslim.    This would not be going to Court Martial without obama's ok.
