As reported here, an Air Force Lt. Colonel was arrested for vandalism after admitting he was responsible for the obliteration of pro-Bush bumper stickers, and spray painting "F*** Bush" on the sides of vehicles.
The Air Force is taking a wait-and-see attitude in this case, allowing local jurisprudence to run it's course, before taking any action. If convicted, I would like to see the Air Force bring a charge of "Conduct Unbecoming an Officer and a Gentleman", and, "Bringing dishonor upon the Armed Forces of the United States" against this guy, which is a heavy charge, and could land him in the stockade (or even prison) and garner a dishonorable discharge.
Why? Because I'm pro-Bush? NO!
For one thing, in this country we are guaranteed the right to free expression by the Constitution, and for another, regardless of an individuals personal political leanings, ALL military personnel take an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution! This guy abrogated his responsibility and his oath by doing what he did, and he deserves the harshest possible punishment for his actions.
