Some more to this story: others have correctly pointed out that this was a *sunmary* court martial, which I overlooked and learned that it has a max punishment equal to what he received. And I'm led to believe he's on his way to being separated out.

The making false statements charge could have landed him 5. This is a comparatively light sentence, which I speculate is a result of a plea. And I'll let your imagination run wild about what kind of deal may have been struck if so.

Also worth mentioning: Pistolis wasn't charged with assault, he was charged with lying and violating orders. He is on camera appearing to attack people, potentially including me, but to my knowledge no one has sought charges against him for that.

This story isn't over and I would caution against drawing any conclusions or writing any fairytales about it.

My guess is that in the wake of his brig time he’ll be administratively separated under the DoD anti-extremism regulations. Given it was a summary, his chain of command possibly opted for this solution because it would be far quicker than other alternatives.

If they don’t, that would be an absolute travesty. But since the other people busted for this have faced administrative separations, my guess is so too will this guy.

I’m glad to hear it isn’t over. He should go to prison and be given a dishonorable discharge—at least.

Even though he didn't get a BCD, there is still an administrative separation process. I would check with the prosecuting legal office to see if they're initiating that.
