ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND, Maryland: Ignoring the prosecution's request to give Army Staff Sergeant Delmar Simpson life behind bars, a court-martial jury sentenced the former drill sergeant to 25 years in prison. Jurors also ordered that Simpson be dishonorably discharged and reduced to the rank of private E-1. The prosecution made an impassioned plea for jurors to deliver the maximum penalty of life in prison, arguing that it would "send a message" to other military personnel. Incredibly, Simpson's defense attorney, Frank Spinner, countered that Simpson's exposure had taught him a lesson and that the jury should...

Staff Sergeant Michael Thompson, 31, of Fort Detrick, Maryland, took his life on Feb. 24, three days after being questioned by Army investigators about a female soldier's complaint that he had indecently assaulted her. The case involved...
...Base in Illinois, charged with two counts of adultery and one count each of sodomy and fraternization. As a result of a pretrial agreement, the 19-year veteran, who was separated from her husband and two daughters, pleaded guilty to one count of fraternization at her March 11 court-martial. The Air Force booted her out of the service one year before she would have been eligible for a pension. After her lawyer expressed concern that she might be suicidal, the Air Force provided her with a mental-health worker. But on March 16, while her parents were at church...
