LTG CHEEK: JUST BECAUSE YOU’RE NOT GUILTY DOESN’T MEAN YOU’RE NOT GUILTY

cheekAt last 60 Minutes presented its long-awaited segment on the Army National Guard G-RAP program, and the Army’s investigation into it. There was a lot wrong with G-RAP. Some Soldiers abused the program and deserve punishment. But it is also true that a number of innocent Soldiers have been swept up and unfairly targeted for investigation related to G-RAP. This was dramatically demonstrated in the case of the two Soldiers profiled here who were prosecuted under the G-RAP investigation and AQUITTED OUTRIGHT – but that isn’t good enough for the Army, which went on to impose career-ruining administrative sanctions upon them. LTG Cheek defends this by saying that just because you’re found not guilty of a crime doesn’t mean you aren’t unethical. To me, that sounds a lot like saying “just because you’re not guilty, doesn’t mean you’re not guilty.” SHAME!
