The article makes it sound like Horner is an officer, but I am prety sure he is an NCM.

Off duty MPs take their wpns home? I thought they left them at the guardhouse.

...Frustrating to read articles like this.

(I shouldn't have posted my original words so hastily. I do apologize.)

It's really frustrating to read of someone completely throwing something away they most likely worked hard for, while simultaneously slapping those in the face who would gladly give it all to be where they are were...Not to mention giving the one-finger-salute to every person they've ever worked with~directly or indirectly~and whoever invested their time/money into them.

Guess there's a job opening for us wannabes...

Well, in all fairness, he hasn't tried or been found guilty of anything at this point in time.

This is very true.

This is very true...it certainly doesn't look good though.  There was obviously a severe lack of judgement somewhere along the way, regardless of what he's actually found guilty of.  Too bad there aren't more details. (Although, even if there were more media usually screws-up the details anyway...)

Guess you missed how Vern alluded to the whole presumption of innocence thing. We try to remind folks of that any time threads like this pop up, guess this is as good a time as any for that reminder.

How it looks does not matter and there is no guarantee that anyone will be found guilty of anything whatsoever.

Yup, it's all about you and the other gonna/wanna/neverwillbes.  Dial back the melodrama a few amps, man, you or I don't know the "why" or "how" or even the "if" of it yet.

I agree. I didn't post with objectiveness at all, and didn't mean to offend. I do apologize for coming off that way.

Most interesting. Lets see how this plays out.

That is true Scott, but you really think that somebody breaks in, points his gun to the other persons face and will be find innocent???
