Soldier Might Face Court Martial For Radio Comments

According to the Illinois Leader, a National Guard soldier based in Rockford, IL, who blasted President Bush on a local radio talk show Friday, may face court martial for her public comments.

The husband of Sergeant Jessica Macek, who returned from leave back to Kuwait on Saturday, told WNTA Talk host Chris Bowman that his wife says she may face a court martial for comments she made Friday.

IllinoisLeader.com Rockford correspondent David Hale heard Macek's comments on the Friday morning show. According to Hale, Macek said the President lied about the reasons America military was in Iraq.

But on the air Monday, Bowman argued that Hale's reporting was inaccurate and biased, saying the story was published on an “ultra-conservative” news source.

When asked by the Illinois Leader's Managing Editor what Bowman considered inaccurate in Hale's story, Bowman said, “I don't believe said `liar,’ I think she may have used the words `less than truthful,’ but I don't recall her saying the President was a liar.”

2. She doesn't hold a commission -- they can't get her for disrespect

Unless there's some order saying nobody can speak in public, she should be safe.

3. Yes, please

it is interesting that a soldier may be court martialed for telling the truth about Bush, but Boykin is let alone to spread lies and hate and undermine what we are doing in Iraq.
