The “Good Soldier” defense in the Guard and Reserve Component
Good soldier is no longer a defense to a 120 charge. It is still admissible on sentencing.
Do not let your years of service go “down the drain.” We have been involved in the most outrageous claims and have had great success. Get a second opinion from us even if you don’t retain us for the formal board hearing. These are tough cases in a grossly “woke” and DEI-infected military. So-called SHARP and sexual harassment and allegations of sexual assault are the tail that wags the dog. An entire bureaucracy breathes life into bogus allegations based on even ridiculous facts.
Hire an experienced lawyer, at least for a consult. Do not even think about cooperating as if it will help your situation. The investigators are often rookies, inexperienced and subject to undue influence from liberal wack-job lawyers/recorders/prosecutors and SARC phony bureaucrats and counselors only exist in an environment with SHARP hysteria. Hell, even the defense lawyers are graduates of liberal law schools that brainwash them.
Trust your instincts. You probably did nothing wrong and even if you did, it is undoubtedly not as serious as everyone is making it out to be. Do not admit fault.
Females are financially incentivized with lifetime disability healthcare benefits and pensions.
In courts-martial and administrative separation boards, should you go to a hearing, cases like these must have a request to bifurcate the findings and sentencing/recommendation for characterization of discharge, particularly in the Guard and Reserve Component. The combat injuries and PTSD in many cases is a defense as to mental state and culpability which is why some of the things which would normally be good soldier material, not allowed, can be admitted on the merits to explain medical conditions, PTSD, alcohol dependence and the affect it has on impulse control.
In any event, defense attorneys must submit good Soldier material in mitigation especially when the hearing is bifurcated at administrative separation boards.
