Vasili Pistolis, the US Marine who bragged about assaulting me in August, has faced a court martial.https://twitter.com/JeffSchogol/status/1008832894998020096 …

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.

He should be separated, based on Article 92 of the UCMJ, which deals with unlawfully disobeying a direct general order; that general order being no participation in extremist organizations.

Yeah. Watch this one. The process is to bust down to e-1 and serve the sentence. Then separation with dishonorable discharge. They keep the miscreant on the rolls until the sentence is served. This isn’t doing him a favor it’s process.

Not saying he shouldn’t have gotten a more severe sentence. Just that even if he was convicted of murder they would keep him on the rolls until the sentence was served.

He will be separated out, which to be honest, would be getting off light. As an E-1 he would have had to do all the shitty jobs and work most weekends. Getting separated will allow him to find a job he likes and give him more freedoms with his life.
