Doing the MORALLY right thing, even the LEGALLY right thing, can and will oftentimes collide with the various distorted aspects of "Made in America" political correctness.

I'm going to go with "yes", doing the Right Thing can be grounds for discharge depending on how you accomplished, said "Right Thing". I believe we all know, and are aware of situations where several "right" choices resulted in the same result in the end, as there are many ways to skin said cat, but it's always how you chose to get to that end result which is going to prove more important and will determine "Right-right" versus "Wrong-right"... I hate to say it, but I would side with the Army on this one...

Right I've read about this from other sources. The mother of this boy was also beaten when she tried to save her baby from abuse. The army's stance is that something like that is their culture. Well their culture sucks we should pull out and nuke them from orbit

So does the Army's Sexual Harassment/Assault Response & Prevention (SHARP) Program ONLY apply to Americans?

Do we not Assist, Intervene, Motivate (AIIM) when Non-Americans are involved?

If we can cherry-pick who our own programs cover, then our programs aren't really worth that much, are they?

The soldier did not have to take physical action to take action, that said, the Army is on the wrong side of this.
