<P>I'm glad that they are finally hammering down on this, but to know that these Soldiers were put in these positions and are now just getting reviewed is worrisome. What are your thoughts on this?</P>

My only thought is, if these individuals have already been identified by name, why are they still in uniform?

Well, one of the hardest things about "purging" our ranks is having to comb through countless records and identify these people. But in this case, clearly the research has been done. So, time to go.

SSG Hasbun,
Its called due process...now you know that takes time, especially when dealing with federal paperwork.

Both my professional take on this as the Installation SHARP Victim Advocate for DLIFLC, and my personal opinion align: it is about time! These are not minor infractions and those who commit them do not deserve to be Soldiers. On top of that, what I find scary is the fact that many of these individuals were leaders with influence over other Soldiers! I understand that people make mistakes, but these types of crimes go above and beyond what should be tolerated. We need to make sure that we retain the best and brightest, and I am glad the Army is doing something about it!

Assuming the evaluations were done to regs and standards, I agree 100% with this move and though I appreciate the delicate nature of this decision, I wish it could have happened sooner. But I am content nonetheless. Offenders of sex assaults have no place in our ranks, period -- even if we are at the height of 2 wars going on at the same time like we were a few years ago.
