I did not think his army service coincided with Irag but I could be wrong.However, taking all of the above, am I off base to speculate that the Army or an appropriately placed officer did indeed want him gone and chose to drop the charges to 1.) keep the particulars of his screwing up out of the public record and 2.) facilitate transferring him to the Coast Guard to get him out of their hair especially if they were going to a war zone? Would you want someone like Justin in your command in a war zone?EDIT: I'm told it was around the time of Dessert Storm so I gues that makes sense.</blockquote>
