The Supreme Court decided last week not to review the case of a retired Marine who was court-martialed and convicted of sexual assault in 2015, upholding the Pentagon’s authority to prosecute retirees for crimes they commit even after leaving the service.

To my mind, that does not make any sense to me. I know retirees are recallable to AD, but even for a civilian DWI after retirement? What a strange and wonderful world we live in. As a retired Police Sergeant, if I get whacked with a felony or a major misdemeanor, I can lose my pension. And that makes sense to me. Damn, I don't know. What happened to double jeopardy?

Headline today: "National Guard weighs punishment for Rep. Adam Kinzinger over criticism of Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers". Although he's not a retiree, he's still an elected Representative.
