Several of you have been sending us links about Colonel James H. Johnson III, the former commander of the Herd (the 173rd Airborne Brigade Combat Team) and his on-going trial for forgery, fraud, lying and bigamy that we discussed last week<\/a>. But yesterday, he was found guilty of some of the charges, while others had been dropped earlier in the week according to the Stars & Stripes<\/a>;<\/p>\n

The former commander of the 173rd Airborne Brigade Combat Team was found guilty Wednesday of two charges of conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

He had already pleaded guilty to 15 other charges, including fraud, bigamy, adultery, wrongful cohabitation and violating regulations or orders. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The funniest part of the trial was when his latest father-in-law, an Iraqi who had benefited from Johnson’s government-funded largesse, Alladin Al-Atar, told the court the colonel \u2014 his one-time friend and alleged benefactor \u2014 was \u201cthe best American I\u2019ve met in my life.\u201d Yet, Alladin had tossed his daughter, Johnson’s Iraqi wife out on her ass for marrying him. I’d hate to see what Alladin would do to the worst American he’d ever met.<\/p>\n

And here’s another thing – how come Johnson was tried by other colonels? If I’d been court martialed, my “peers” would be sergeant majors and first sergeants. That’s probably why it took three hours for the jury to decide whether Johnson was guilty or not. Colonels have a hard time making a decision without a staff.<\/p>\n

So Johnson could get 50 years in the Graybar Hotel but I don’t see Big Army doing that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
