Facts. On the contrary though, I feel any new CID agent or JAG officer looking to get that recognition or possible merit for promotion, is going to push that narrative or rhetoric they desire to pursue a conviction or some type of punitive action. I mean, this can be a drawn out conversation and go back and forth, but I feel there is good and bad on both sides.
But, from my experience(As stated still awaiting my vetting process to be done) I have gained some valuable insight on how the bad CID or JAG dudes really do what they feel they need to, to try that allegation and see it through. Something that made sense to me was, "CID Agents and JAG officers are on the Governments dime, they're also in the Military which means they perform for those merits to gain promotion as that is how the military corporate ladder is set up. So of course that OER and NCOER's are gonna be nice and bulletized, they only get that for the cases solved, actions taken, and charges founded." My ex-wife became a JAG officer after she got her degree, she helped some joes of mine after they were facing the consequences of their stupid actions. Ironically, she was a TDS JAG officer at Bragg when I was there lol.
Sorry for the long story, felt it was needed for an elaborated explanation, also to not make it seem as if I am pro-crime for people in the Military. Lastly, you are correct, I have seen Commanders really sweep stuff under the rug for some who I personally feel did not deserve it.
