When you wave the flag for someone like this guy you dishonor that flag. Get a friggin grip your own self.
First, the other officers to which you refer were convicted of, or admitted to their various misdeeds.
When he's convicted of a crime or "reprehensible behavior" is actually determined to have taken place, then I'm sure he'll get whatever punishment he deserves. Until then, there's the whole innocent until proven guilty thing and I'm willing to wait. It appears you are not.
Your original post claimed no concern over flag waving in an attempt to diminish alleged crimes. You claimed that calling this individual a "24-year Air Force veteran" was a lie. You went on to imply that the service of all ANG and Reserve service members is inferior to those folks on active duty. That's why I responded to you. You clearly don't have a clue about this specific subject and I suggest that maybe you should stick to what you know.
