Corruption plagues the Military injustice System. Known as the UCMJ, this one-sided, oppressive, and grossly flawed (in)justice system destroys countless lives and breaks up innocent families who fall victim to the military's dishonest and heartless Court Martials. The military is biased against men, if you serve in the military you have no rights. You are guilty until proven innocent, even so, you will still be convicted of a “lesser included offense”, no evidence is required to put you in prison for decades, a mere accusation from one person is all it takes to destroy your life and your family. The military gives no fucks about you or your family. OSI will not do an impartial investigation, they will not interview any defense favorable witnesses. The JAG prosecutors and OSI will hide any defense favorable evidence which weakens their case. The prosecutors witnesses against you are even paid money as a “travel expense” to testify against you. The military judge will deny 99% of defense request, but will grant all prosecution request against you. It's a kangaroo court, it's all for show on paper. It's is sick disgusting (in)justice system that robs young men of their lives. I even had CCTV footage of guards abusing us on Minot AFB; OSI and the JAG tampered with the footage, the judge did not care and even helped the JAG with excuses to defend the confinement guards. I was first locked up by OSI on January 13, 2014, I was not charged with any crime until March 11, 2014.I was not allowed to even call my mother until mid-April to let her know what's going on. They kept my incoming and outgoing mail from me for months at a time, including my attorney-client mail. I was forced to stay awake without rest for 18 hours per day for the whole year I was confined at Minot AFB. When I filed complaints of abuse, Minot AFB leadership ignored me and did a fake investigation to cover it up, they coached the guards what to say and even gave them pre-typed questions and answers for the investigation - No other prisoners were even attempted to be contacted. You have no rights in the military. JAG, OSI, and Senior officers will all lie to cover for each other, it's disgusting. It’s very sad that such a corrupt legal system exist in America. It's even more disturbing that the men who fight to defend America are the true victims at the hands of their own commanders, who act as puppets for the OSI and JAG. Congress needs to eradicate this plague that destroys numerous innocent families and robs men of their rights ( and lives). the UCMJ is a devastating cancer that drains the military of its most important resource: people. Men do not deserve to spend decades in prison for crimes they did not do, or crimes that are grossly exaggerated by JAG and OSI. Congress should repeal the USMJ and give rights back to men in the military. Congress, save our Military’s families! End this corrupt injustice system. Leon A.
