In reply to the discussion: 'Especially reprehensible' Retired Air Force officer sentenced to 2 years in prison in Capitol rio [View all]intheflow
(28,466 posts)47. And let us remember the manifesto this guy wrote.
He wanted to use his military training against fellow citizens. He broke his oath to uphold the Constitution and protect it against aggressors, foreign and domestic. Two years is just long enough to give him all the time he needs to refine his plans while giving him hope hell be out with time enough left in his miserable life to carry them out.
Edited to add: if hes allowed to keep his military pension he wont need to find a job. If he loses it, he could still have set up some kickass retirement account. And even if hes got zip for retirement, there will always be some jingoistic MAGAt to give him work under the table. Or he can become an expert on Fox!

Technically only if he was a current member of the military or a member of the reserves.

Lol. Yes. I had to google it. Brock's wife turned him in before the cleanup was even done.

He got off with an extraordinarily light sentence given the manifesto he had written.
