Good point. Shows how desperate the military are to recruit. Seven years of the moron-in-chief in charge has taken its toll, no doubt, on morale and the ability of the military to find and retain quality candidates.

The comment about Bipolarism in the military may or may not be real, If she was being treated for bipolarism when she joined, I doubt that she would be allowed in. Bipolars can be a loose cannon if their meds are missed. if she was diagnosed after joining, she would have been given a medical discharge. the only way she could stay in would be to not tell,

Rape is a crime and there is no excuse.

True, but at this point, it''s only an allegation.

For the fact she was going to testify against her commander, and now has disappeared, should suggest something sinister has occurred. And given the fact that, she has not called her stepmother, and her cell phone was found abandoned, or thrown out at the main gate, should indicate foul play.

Not necessarily. IF the rape charges were fabricated, she may well have decided to flee rather than face the consequences of making false charges against an officer.

She could have tossed her phone on the way out of the gate.

Everyone knows that a cell phone will lead police to your location. Same for not contacting her family.

Missing since before Christmas? Wonder why our crack satelite news hasn''t plastered this and droaned on-and-on about her dog, neighbor, stepmom, or any other mute fact every 10 minutes. Guess it wouldn''t sell enough soap or slim machines!

Do not know is she as raped or not but hope nothing deadly has happened to her.

Looking at a woman and dreaming of her is not a crime. Most normal men do.

Making loud remarks is not acceptable.
Rape is a crime and there is no excuse.

Something happened to this Marine, and expectant mother. For the fact she was going to testify against her commander, and now has disappeared, should suggest something sinister has occurred. And given the fact that, she has not called her stepmother, and her cell phone was found abandoned, or thrown out at the main gate, should indicate foul play.

The evidence is there,,circumstantial as it is.
That''s how the civilian system works, right?

I am expecially disgusted by the comments of those who once took the oath to serve their country as I did.

And I didn''t serve as you did JAG in an office, I served in combat.

Only proving that non-legal people shouldn''''t practice law. Since you don''''t know what has happened to this marine, anymore than I do, your supposition that she has deserted is a scurilous accusation. As a marine you should have a higher standard of behavior then to make such accusations against a fellow marine.

FYI, I spent 5 years in JAG and no one at this point has any evidence of her being AWOL and nothing in this article gives me any idea what might have happened. This is the worse kind of reporting. It''''s pure salacious suppositions and innuendo. I can hardly believe the wild jumping to conclusions that I''''ve read posted here. I am expecially disgusted by the comments of those who once took the oath to serve their country as I did.

Get off your high horse.

Did you read anywhere that foul play is suspected?

No.

So shove your arrogance sideways.

This is driving me crazy.

Differnet, it''s "than" not "then"

And take no notice of ScarletPhd...she''s a TPT wacko.
