Morality Hits The Fan.

Michael Clark from the U. S. Army Officers Candidate School has some very strong feelings about the Air Force Academy Sexual assault investigation. That is the Article 32 Investigation that began in January 2012.

Mr. Clark asked what are women doing in the military academy in the first place? Why are they allowed in the men's dorms and visa versa? Why did this young woman expect to have a partial sexual experience (making out), going only to a certain point of completion, knowing the man would desire to go all the way? Why is fornication fostered and promoted in this and in all of our educational institutions in numerous ways, and then we are surprised when something like the above happens? Character used to matter in leadership training, but now it is only given lip-service because the old, timeless morals and standards are no longer are acceptable to a society which rejects God and His laws.

Men and women are different. We, in our revolutionary zeal to develop some "brave, new, egalitarian society" are facing problems that are really unnecessary if and when follow and obey those simple Ten Commandments that we have removed from the public square. We have replaced them with some politically-correct form of morality that offends no one, except the God who made us.

Now, the lives of these three young men, and those of innumerable others will be destroyed by these new, distorted double-standards for contemporary sexual behavior and the oppressive laws that enforce them. But, then, what are a few casualties to be sacrificed on the altar of "change" when weighed against the benefits of remaking of a culture? I reckon.

He was referring to a new woman’s testimony which detailed one of three new charges filed in the last two weeks against Cadet Robert M. Evenson Jr. alleging wrongful sexual contact, indecent acts, stalking and assault.

The latest allegations come on top of three other charges filed Jan. 5 accusing Evenson of rape, conduct unbecoming an officer and allegedly using his position with the academy’s honor system to obtain sexual favors.

Paul McGuire expressed almost the same sentiments in his article "She Animal-The New Female Sexual Predator". At the Coast Guard academy in 2005 they were looking for a male sexual predator. Admiral Van Sice and Captain Douglas Wisnewski, among others, wanted to make Webster Smith the poster child for sexual predators at the Coast Guard Academy. That scheme backfired.

SHE ANIMAL – THE NEW FEMALE SEXUAL PREDATOR

By Paul McGuire
February 22, 2012
NewsWithViews.com

A growing number of attractive female teachers and women from all areas of society, who are anywhere from 23 -54 years old, are seducing teenage and pre-teenage boys between 10–17 years old, across the nation. Until, the last decade or so, it has been men who have been the primary sexual predators towards male and female children. It is only recently, that increasing numbers of women, specifically in their mid-twenties to late thirties who are engaging in this sort of activity. Many of these younger women are married and have children. The question is, “What is causing the emergence of a new breed of sexual predator, the “She-Animal,” and her hard-core sexual assault on under age males?

Female sexual predators are part of the deliberate destruction of the family. The pill that was started in the 1950’s was followed by no-fault divorce, the sexual revolution, drugs, rock’ n roll in the 1960’s, the feminist movement in the 1970’s, normalization of homosexuality, and now the acceptance of what was once termed sexual deviancy. Just turn on television sit-coms, movies, and contemporary music. You will hear and see all kinds of references to sexual behavior that was once considered by society as perverted and out of the mainstream. Date movies or “chick-flicks” contain powerful messages defining aberrant sexual behaviors as the new normal. The result is the acceptance of sexual activities were once considered as sexual perversion.

Sexual activities involving multiple partners, bondage, and sadomasochism are now accepted as normal by a growing percentage of our society. For example, handcuffs in bedroom scenes between married people have become routine in comedies. During this past Valentine’s Day, the police pulled over a young married couple in their car. The female was naked, except for the fact that she was wearing bondage gear. It was reported across the nation on the nightly news as a humorous news story. We have experience a paradigm shift in our sexual values that will produce long-term negative consequences.

The term “She-Animal,” is not intended as a disparaging remark against women. Men are also engaged in sexual behavior that is illegal, violent, and can only be described as dark sexual perversion. However, it is an observation that millennium-old sexual boundaries that defined the nature of female sexuality have been erased and new scientifically programmed hyper-sexuality has been imbedded in new generations of women. The prime driver in the sexual transformation of both men and women is the regular viewing of pornography. Being exposed to and watching pornography creates a chemical high in both men and women, similar to a cocaine or methamphetamine high. Not only men, but women also can become addicted to the sexual high. Like other addictions, their sexual addiction controls them. Drug addicts begin to do things that they would never do if they were in their right mind. Like cocaine and methamphetamines, pornography radically changes the brain and body’s biochemistry, causing them to break social boundaries and laws, like drug addicts do.

There is a great similarity between the biochemical highs produced by cocaine and meth, heroin, and pornography. For example, viewing pornography releases dopamine, testosterone, oxytocin, serotonin, phenylethamine (PEA), and adrenaline creating, what Dr. Judith Reisman refers to as, an “erototoxin.” This biochemical’s produce sexual arousal which, lights up the central nervous system and causes powerful physiological changes. Hormone levels soar. Boosting heart rate and blood pressure increase the physical sensitivity and physical desire.

In many ways, pornography is a more dangerous drug than coke and meth, as Dr. Robert Malenka and Dr. Julie Kauer wrote in an important study in a 2007 issue of Nature magazine. When commenting on the biochemical changes related to pornography addiction, they wrote, “Addiction represents a pathological, yet powerful form of learning and memory.” They actually change and rewire the brain, causing long term depression, until a woman or man, can get their sexual fix. Dr. Norman Doidge, a neurologist at Columbia, in his book “The Brain That Changes Itself,” outlines the process of re-wiring neural circuits. It has now been discovered that females as well as males, act like rats addicted to cocaine in the experimental Skinner boxes, desperately seeking an image or behavior that will alleviate the depression and deliver their next sexual fix.

This process has been called “frantic learning,” where a man or a woman are constantly searching the internet, looking for just the right fantasy image or video clip that will deliver that sexual rush. Neuroscience reveals that sexual addiction and the regular viewing of pornography produce a deficit of dopamine in the reward system and re-wires the brain of female sexual predators. The dopamine deficit produces such an overwhelming craving that it short circuits the pre-frontal rational brain which gives us self-control. The dopamine deficit overwhelms the rational brain and drives these females, as well as males, to immoral, destructive and illegal behaviors that destroy lives.

Thus, a growing percentage of younger women, literally go out of their minds and become what I term “She-Animals,” in a desperate quest for dopamine. The larger the dopamine fix needed, the more willing the “She-Animal” is to use a variety of seduction approaches on underage boys. The “She-Animal,” will send explicit messages and pictures of her via cell phone or the internet. She will get alone with the boy, give him alcohol, drugs, porn, undress, or wear explicit lingerie in order to generate a dehumanized sexual relationship.

In 1934, Cambridge anthropologist, Dr. J. D. Unwin published “Sex and Culture.” Dr. Unwin examined 86 cultures spanning 5,000 years with regard to the effects of both sexual restraint and sexual abandon from a purely secular perspective. He found, without exception, that cultures that practiced strict monogamy in marital bonds exhibited, what he called, creative social energy and reached the zenith of production. In contrast, cultures that had no restraint on sexuality, without exception, fell into mediocrity and chaos. This is the reason the Roman Empire fell.

The Apostle Timothy talks about the characteristics of the last days. The general sociological condition will be that men will love themselves and pleasure more than God. As in ancient Rome, it will cause the general breakdown of society.

“And this know thou, that in the last days there shall come perilous times. For men shall be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, evil-speakers, to parents disobedient, unthankful, unkind, without natural affection, implacable, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, not lovers of those who are good, traitors, heady, lofty, lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God.” II Timothy 3:1-4

The prophet Daniel spoke of a Revived Roman Empire and Revelation that gives a similar warning. There are many similarities between Rome and America. I show the full implications of this in my 3-DVD series, "Are You Ready for the One World Government? One World Economic System and the Coming One World Religion?"

In 1936, Aldous Huxley wrote Brave New World where a benevolent totalitarian state controls the genetically bred and transhuman ruling class called the Alphas with constant orgies called “the feelies,” and rampant sexual promiscuity. In addition, they are given a drug called, “soma,” which makes them high and easy to control. In futuristic novels like Gravity’s Rainbow by Thomas Pynchon, and 1984 by George Orwell, pornography and sexual promiscuity, perversion and orgies are mechanisms of social control.

The scientific elite, working through such organizations as the Tavistock Institute, which sets the agenda for the Stanford Research Institute and countless other think tanks, work covertly to program mass consciousness in our children. Since the 1950s, children have been targeted to be under mind control through rock music, drugs, porn, books, TV, advertisements, comic books, and movies. The question is how do we deal with this invasion of our sexuality as individuals, families, and a nation?

The answer can be found in our Judeo-Christian roots. Both the Old Testament and the New Testament are filled with examples of a positive sexuality. The Bible teaches a celebration of sex. However, since God is the designer and engineer of human sexuality, He knows quite a bit about it. Many people have misinterpreted God’s commandments regarding sexuality as a negative view of sexual expression. That idea is completely false. We must remember that it was God who created sex in the first place, both for procreation and enjoyment or pleasure. However, since God designed sex in the first place, He understood the dangers of uncontrolled sexual expression and designed safeguards or laws to protect mankind.

God designed sex to be exclusively experienced inside of marriage. The reason God did that is one of His first commandments to mankind was to “be fruitful and multiply.” You cannot multiply without sex. Some people seem to forget that the Infinite Personal God of the Universe created the full range of sexual expression between a husband and wife. If the Song of Solomon was read properly, it would be X-rated, not because it is perverse, but because it is about the full celebration of sex between a husband and wife. The full range of sexual attraction that is built into the male regarding the female body and personality is a good thing. The full range of emotional and physical attraction between a woman and a man she wishes to marry is a good thing. God created the orgasm and the multi-dimensional nature of sexual expression as physical, emotional, and spiritual. The best sex incorporates all of these dimensions.

There is tremendous hope for people who have had their sexuality and sexual responses messed up. There are programs that deal with sexual addiction and the best programs incorporate a spiritual component. Many people are surprised that the Bible is an X-rated book and it offers practical and positive suggestions about how to experience maximum sexual fulfillment. For example, in I Corinthians 7:5, the Apostle Paul says, “Do not deprive one another except with consent for a time, which you may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again so that Satan does not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.”

Although, there may be problems that must be healed or solved in order for a husband and wife to enjoy maximum sexuality, the goal is a creative and fulfilling sex life. Problems that could interrupt the positive sex life between husband and wife could be emotional abuse, adultery, treating your spouse like an object, and demanding your partner perform degrading sex acts that you wish to reenact due to your exposure to pornography. When the Apostle Paul uses the words, “Do not deprive one another,” he is specifically speaking of sex.

The sex life between a husband and wife should be spiritual, creative, and erotic. Nowhere in the Bible does God say that the only way a husband and wife can have sex is in the missionary position. The Song of Solomon is a great manual on sex if it is read as it is intended to be read.

A powerful solution to the temptation of pornography and immorality is to enjoy the maximum sex life God planned for a husband and wife since the beginning of time. The predatory female or male needs to work on their relationship with their spouse. That may take communication and counseling. But, a rich and emotionally intimate sex life with your husband or wife is far more satisfying that playing the role of a virtual hooker. Cyber sex is not sex. It is artificial sex. Artificial sex never satisfies, but sex between a husband and wife, the way God created it to be, is the ultimate.

Air Force Academy Cadets Evenson, Claxton, and Cressy.



The Air Force Academy announced on January 5 that three male cadets had been charged with sex crimes stemming from unrelated incidents between February 2010 and May 2011. Academy officials said the three cases were announced together because the investigations happened to end at about the same time.

Cadet Robert M. Evenson Jr. is charged with rape. Evenson, for his part, allegedly masturbated over a cadet and ejaculated on her stomach while holding her down sometime during the month of November 2010. Between March and July of that year, he's also suspected of forcing sex "using power or strength or restraint to her person sufficient that she could not avoid or escape the sexual conduct." In addition, in February 2010, the Charge Sheet contends that he helped a cadet in an Honor case "in return for a dating relationship and sexual favors, requiring her to violate her probation in return for helping her, and threatening to harm her military career if she did not comply."


Cadet Stephan H. Claxton is charged with abusive sexual assault. Claxton is charged with illicit acts in March and November of last year. In the first, he's said to have placed a cadets hand on his penis while engaging in underage drinking. In the second, he is accused of striking a fellow cadet on the face with his fist and unbuttoning and unzipping her pants without her consent, as well as forcibly kissing and choking her.


Cadet Kyle A. Cressy is charged with aggravated assault. The Cressy incidents date to May 2011. The charges state that he penetrated a female cadet's vagina with his hand or finger, as well as his penis, while she was "substantially incapacitated."

Evenson and Claxton face other, non-sex-related counts.


It is not clear how many cases the Air Force Academy could have prosecuted; but, at least, they did not simply try to paint the crime with a black face.

The sexual assault charges against the Air Force Cadets are serious but they are not worthy of a Court-martial. Only Cadet Robert M. Evenson, Junior deserves stronger discipline. He abused his position as an Honor Code enforcer to obtain sexual favors. He should receive a Special Court-martial, not a General Court-martial. He should be held to a higher standard of conduct because he was in a position of trust. He abused that trust by taking advantage of a younger and less mature female cadet. Article 15, Non-judicial punishment, would be the appropriate forum to dispose of all the other charges. These few incidents of bad behavior should not become the most significant factors in determining their futures. Courts-martial should be reserved for terrorists and mass murderers. To bring out the big guns for such minor offenses would be a bad lesson in judgement to teach all the other cadets in the Academy.

Rep. Jackie Speier, a California Democrat, said in an interview the day of Panetta's announcement that the military culture has "run amok" and the rules for handling sexual abuse need an overhaul. She has introduced a bill that would create a separate system within the military to investigate and prosecute sex crimes.

Currently, a victim's commander might be part of the decision-making process. That creates a conflict of interest; the commander could suffer career damage if a subordinate is victimized; the commander could be a friend of the suspect; or the commander could be the suspect, Speier said.

"We've got to do something fairly dramatic to get the academies back on track and the military back on track," she said.



"How do you measure prevention?", asked Teresa Beasley, the Air Force Academy's sexual assault coordinator.



Are these cadets simply a reflection of the same social dating forces at play in American society at large? It isn't clear whether the disturbing news means sexual predation is on the rise at the Military academies. It could simply reflect the better efforts to encourage cadets to report any kind of unwanted sexual contact.



The Air Force Academy's sex assault prevention campaign starts before freshman studies begin. Among other things, cadets are told the Department of Defense definition of sexual assault includes "intentional sexual contact ... when the victim does not or cannot consent."

The breadth of the definition comes as a surprise to some.

"When they come in at basic, you see the 'deer-in-the-headlight' look — 'Wow, I didn't realize I'd been assaulted,'" said Teresa Beasley.

Coast Guard Academy Cadet Webster Smith.

The Coast Guard had more than 10 cases of rape or sexual assault prior yo 2005. All of the sexual predators were white. None were prosecuted. Then, along came Webster Smith. He was African American and several women accused him of sexual assault. The Coast Guard Academy spared no effort or expense in prosecuting him in 2006. There was an attempt to make Webster Smith the poster child of sexual assault at the Coast Guard academy. It did not work.

In the book CONDUCT UNBECOMING an Officer and Lady I paint an accurate picture of the Coast Guard Academy sexual predator based on actual eye witness interviews.

I Will Fight No More Forever.

America's fighting men have come in many guises, shapes and sizes. They have had to fight all of America's enemies, both foreign and domestic. Cadet Webster Smith had to fight his own senior officers, friends, and mentors. In the end he was proud. He had fought the good fight. Even TIME magazine carried the quote of the first cadet in Coast Guard history to be tried by a General Court-martial.

http://www.time.com/time/quotes/0,26174,1209244,00.html


Less than 60 days after the verdict was rendered in the Webster Smith case, I predicted that the case would make it all the way to the Supreme Court.

Supreme Court justices are not elected. They are appointed with the advice and consent of the Congress. The Nine Justices of the Supreme Court are the least democratic branch of the federal government. They have no constituency. They do not have to conform to the biases of the majority. They are the Court of Last Resort; so, they are infallible. With few exceptions, they have dealt with evenhandedly with all of America's citizens.

They do not have to sit for re-election. They are appointed for life. They are totally isolated from busy bodies on the Right or Left Side of the political spectrum. With one stroke of the pen, they may act to curb injustices, correct unsavory attitudes, and breathe new life into a living Constitution.

Historically we have looked to them to solve our most vexing social problems. They are America's ultimate arbiters of justice; and, that includes military justice.

Aside from the Webster Smith Case, I cannot think of any case or incident in Coast Guard history that affected more directly the hearts, minds, and daily lives of all members of the United States Coast Guard.

The U.S. Coast Guard Court of Criminal Appeals had to review the Webster Smith case. It had no choice. Article 66 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, requires the Coast Guard Criminal appeals Court to review all cases of trial by court-martial in which the sentence as approved by the Convening Authority extends to dismissal of a cadet from the Coast Guard, and/or a dishonorable or bad conduct discharge, unless the accused waives appellate review. Webster Smith did not waive appellate review. He appealed his conviction. Oral arguments in the Case of The Appeal of the Court-martial Conviction of Cadet Webster Smith was scheduled for January 16, 2008 in Arlington, Virginia.

A legal brief filed by his lawyers claimed the convictions should have been thrown out because the defense team was not allowed to fully cross-examine one of his accusers during Smith's court martial. They said that meant the jury didn't hear testimony that the accuser, a female cadet, Shelly Roddenbush, had once had consensual sex with a Coast Guard enlisted man and then called it sexual assault. If she lied once, she very well could have lied again.

The Coast Guard Court of of Criminal Appeals is made up of Coast Guard Officers. It has the power to decide matter of both fact and law. Decisions of the Coast Guard Court of Criminal Appeals may be appealed to the Court of Appeals of the Armed Forces (CAAF). It is made up of five civilian judges, appointed to 15 year terms. It decides only issues of law. Its decisions may be appealed to the U. S. Supreme Court. The Webster Smith Case followed this long and winding path all the way to the Supreme Court.

The U.S. Supreme Court has refused to hear the appeal of Webster Smith. The justices declined to hear the case without comment.

Webster Smith was proud of his decision to fight the good fight all the way to the end of the road. See TIME magazine June 29, 2006.

Crime and Punishment and Military Tribunals.

Staff Sgt. Frank G. Wuterich, 31, a U. S. Marine Corps squad leader in Iraq was charged with war crimes, tried by a military court-martial, found guilty and sentenced to a maximum of 90 days in jail and a reduction in pay and rank.

He will not serve a day in jail. Because of a plea bargain with prosecutors he will avoid brig time all together. The military judge was obligated to abide by the plea bargain between prosecutors and the defense.

The bottom line is that the sentence amounts to a cut in pay and a reduction in rank to private.

As part of his guilty plea, Sgt. Wuterich accepted responsibility for giving negligent verbal instructions to the Marines under his command. He reportedly told them to "shoot first and ask questions later," which resulted in the deaths of innocent civilians.

In a pre-sentencing statement, Sgt. Wuterich said when he gave that order, "the intent wasn't that they should shoot civilians. It was that they would not hesitate in the face of the enemy."

He was accused of being the ringleader in a series of November 19, 2005, shootings and grenade attacks that left two dozen civilians dead in Haditha, a city west of Baghdad.

The killings were portrayed by Iraqi witnesses and military prosecutors as a massacre of unarmed civilians -- men, women and children -- carried out by Marines in anger after a member of their unit was killed by a roadside bomb.

Defense lawyers argued the deaths resulted from a fast-moving combat situation and that the Marines believed they were under enemy fire.

Did the punishment fit the crime?

LT. William Calley was charged on September 5, 1969, with six specifications of premeditated murder for the deaths of 104 Vietnamese civilians near the village of My Lai. As many as 500 villagers, mostly women, children, infants and the elderly, had been systematically killed by American soldiers during a bloody rampage on March 16, 1968. Had he been convicted, Calley could have faced the death penalty.

It was the military prosecution's contention that Calley, in defiance of the rules of engagement, ordered his men to deliberately murder unarmed Vietnamese civilians despite the fact that his men were not under enemy fire at all.

Calley's original defense that the death of the villagers was the result of an accidental helicopter or aerial airstrike was quashed by the few prosecution witnesses. In his new defense, Calley claimed he was following the orders of his immediate superior, Captain Ernest Medina. Twenty-one other members of Charlie Company also testified on Calley's defense corroborating the orders. But Medina publicly denied giving such an order. Medina was acquitted of all charges relating to the incident at a separate trial in August 1971.

Calley was convicted on March 29, 1971, of the premeditated murder of 22 Vietnamese civilians. On March 31, 1971, Calley was sentenced to life imprisonment and hard labor at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. Of the 26 officers and soldiers initially charged for their part in the My Lai Massacre or the subsequent cover-up, only Calley was convicted.

On April 1, 1971, only a day after Calley was sentenced, U.S. President Richard Nixon ordered him transferred from Leavenworth prison to house arrest at Fort Benning, Georgia. He served only three and a half years of house arrest.

In 1974, President Nixon tacitly issued Calley a limited Presidential Pardon. Consequently, his general court-martial conviction and dismissal from the U.S. Army were upheld, however, the prison sentence and subsequent parole obligations were commuted to time served, leaving Calley a free man.

Did the punishment fit the crime?

On June 26, 2006 Cadet Webster Smith pleaded not guilty in the first court-martial of a cadet in Coast Guard Academy history. The charges ranged from rape, sodomy, and extortion to assault of four female cadets.

With no physical evidence in the case, defense attorneys had hoped to persuade jurors that the testimony of the women was unreliable. There was no DNA evidence, no forensic evidence, no rape kit and no crime scene photos. It was a classic case of “he-said, she-said”. It was one cadet’s word against another.

On June 28, 2006 after about eight hours of deliberation, the panel found Cadet Webster Smith guilty of indecent assault, extortion in exchange for sexual favors and sodomy, which in military parlance includes oral sex. All those charges involved only one of the four female accusers.

He was acquitted of several charges that stemmed from alleged sexual encounters with the other three female cadets. The defense had argued that the sex was consensual and that the women had colluded against Webster Smith. They were all scorned lovers of one sort or another.

Before any charges had been filed against him, Cadet Smith had spent about six months at hard labor and pre-trial confinement. He was sentenced to an additional six months in jail at a Navy brig, and dismissal from the Coast Guard Academy. He served five months in jail and was released early because of good behavior as a prisoner.

Webster Smith appealed his conviction all the way to the Supreme Court. The U.S. Coast Guard Court of Criminal Appeals held oral argument on January 16, 2008 in Arlington, Virginia; but the decision of the Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces (CAAF) became the final decision in the case because the U. S.Supreme Court, the nation’s court of last resort, denied the appeal without comment.

The White House Still Stands Today Because A Black Pilot Would Not Fly His Plane Into It.

Retired Air Force Lt. Col. Luke Weathers Jr. was buried Friday January 20, 2012 at Arlington National Cemetery, Washington, D.C..

His son, Luke Weathers III, 61, said his father and other Black Americans who fought in World War II did so to prove they were men, "and then they wanted their country to love them, but that didn't happen, either." Friday's ceremony, however, finally delivered recognition of his father as a national hero, Weathers said.

This kind of attention to the Tuskegee Airmen is what Lt. Col. Weathers wanted throughout his life, said his daughter, Trina Weathers Boyce. Lt. Col. Weathers was not vain, but he wanted to share the lessons of the airmen's courage in war, their struggles for equality and their victory over a wartime enemy and over racism, she said.

"We are still educating people on the Tuskegee history," Trina Weathers Boyce said, "because it's a big part of American history, not African American or Black history, but American history."

That is equally true of another Black American hero, Captain LeRoy W. Homer Jr.. The victorious do not always live to celebrate their victories. In some cases it is for us the living to celebrate their achievements for them. The world may little note nor long remember what the officers, crew, and passengers of United Flight 93 did for America and western civilization on September 11, 2001, but I urge all Americans to pause and thank God that he gave us a real hero like LeRoy W. Homer Junior.

But for Captain LeRoy W. Homer Jr and the other brave souls on United Flight 93, the White House could very well have been one big black hole on Pennsylvania Avenue on that fateful day. The White House is still there in large measure because Captain LeRoy Homer would not fly his United Airlines Flight 93 into this symbol at the heart of the American Dream.

United Airlines Flight 93 was en route to San Francisco from Newark, N.J., when the hijackers took over, apparently planning to crash the plane into the White House or the Capitol. Conversations from the plane's final minutes indicate the passengers had some idea of what was happening to them and, on the words "Let's roll," stormed the cockpit in an effort to wrest control shortly before the crash.

Not much has been said in the mainstream media about LeRoy W. Homer Jr.

At an early age, LeRoy W. Homer Jr knew that he wanted to be a pilot. As a child, LeRoy assembled model airplanes, collected aviation memorabilia and read books on aviation. LeRoy was 15 years old when he started flight instruction in the Cessna 152. Working part-time jobs after school to pay for flying lessons, he completed his first solo at 16 years old, and obtained his private pilot's certificate in 1983.

In the fall of 1983, LeRoy entered the Air Force Academy, and graduated with the Class of 1987, 31st Squadron. After completing pilot training in 1988, he was assigned to McGuire AFB in New Jersey, flying the C-141B Starlifter. While on active duty, LeRoy served in Desert Shield and Desert Storm, and later supported operations in Somalia. He received many commendations, awards and medals during his military career. In 1993, he was named the 21st Air Force Aircrew Instructor of the Year. LeRoy achieved the rank of Captain before his honorable discharge from active duty in 1995.

LeRoy continued his military career as a reservist, initially as an instructor pilot with the 356th Airlift Squadron at Wright Patterson AFB, Ohio, then subsequently as an Academy Liaison Officer, recruiting potential candidates for both the Air Force Academy and the Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps. During his time with the Reserves, he achieved the rank of Major.

LeRoy continued his flying career by joining United Airlines in May 1995. His first assignment was Second Officer on the B727. He then upgraded to First Officer on the B757/767 in 1996, where he remained until September 11, 2001.

On September 11, 2001, LeRoy was flying with Captain Jason Dahl on United Flight 93. Based on information from several sources that day, we know LeRoy and Jason were the first to fight against the terrorist threat to the airplane. LeRoy has received many awards and citations posthumously, for his actions on Flight 93, including the Congress Of Racial Equality - Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Award, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference - Drum Major for Justice Award and the Westchester County Trailblazer Award.

LeRoy was able to accomplish much in his short life. He was able to do so because of the support of his family and friends, and the encouragement of his teachers and mentors. We hope that LeRoy's life will continue to be an inspiration to those who also share the dream of flying.

LeRoy married Melodie Thorpe on May 24, 1998 in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. From that union, their daughter Laurel Nicole was born October 25, 2000.

LeRoy was known for his kind, caring disposition. He was the type of person that truly listened when you spoke. He was an exceptional individual with a wonderful sense of humor.

CAPT LeRoy Homer, United Airlines Flt. 93 on 9/11/01.



9/11 had a huge impact on United States foreign policy, on the way the Western world views Islam and on the Islamic world.

Since the crash, a group of volunteers known now as the Flight 93 ambassadors point visitors to the crash site on a previously barren wind swept field in Pennsylvania and describe what happened aboard the plane on Sept. 11, 2001. Some months they guide more than 25,000 visitors.

On that terrible day in 2001, it didn't take first responders long to realize there would be no survivors. Combing the site, all they could find at first were small pieces of aircraft — and bits of a United Airlines in-flight magazine.

"It was a pretty scary time," says a former assistant fire chief, Rick King, whose truck was the first to arrive. "I just remember driving down the road, wondering what we were about to see."

Searchers recovered only about 8 percent of the potential human remains but were able to identify everyone from the fragments they did find, said Somerset County Coroner Wallace Miller.

"Most of the material was vaporized," he says.

Cadet Used Honor Code Position To Obtain Sexual Favors.

Cadet Robert M. Evenson Jr. is alleged to have forcibly raped a female cadet in the spring of 2010. He's also charged with breaking cadet regulations by having an ongoing relationship with a female freshman. He also is suspected of abusing his power position as a "cadet non-commissioned officer for honor cases" to extract sexual favors from a female fellow cadet. This is serious. He was charged with enforcing the Honor Code. He may have used it to supply gris for his mill. As one of the cadets entrusted with enforcing the Academy's Honor Code, he would have been in a very coveted position. He was expected to punish those who lie, cheat, steal or tolerate others who do. Those who violate the Honor Code face a maximum punishment of expulsion from the Academy. Allegations of corruption in the Honor Code enforcement system will likely send shock-waves through the Cadet Corps and the Academy alumni. The Honor Code is the very touchstone of the Academy's culture.

Who will watch the watchers? This exploitation of a power position was inevitable. It is as impossible to avoid detection indefinitely as it is to plan your own surprise birthday. This is probably not the first time this cadet has done this. It appears that he had momentum; that is, forward motion fueled by a series of wins.

Just what is the Honor Code. each of our military academies has an Honor Code or an Honor Concept. How do they differ? Read all about it in my book CONDUCT UNBECOMING an Officer and Lady. Read it for free in Kindle format at

The Coast Guard Academy Cadet Handbook (2010) tells the new cadet recruit that when you take the oath of office as a Cadet in the United States Coast Guard you begin your development as a commissioned officer in the Armed Forces of the United States. You will be expected to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States and to selflessly serve the American people.

In the Honor Concept there exists a higher standard of conduct that can neither be delineated by laws nor defined by regulations. It is the concept of Honor. Because Coast Guard cadets are called to a life of public service, and desire to attain that special trust and confidence which is placed in our nation’s commissioned officers, their actions must be straightforward and always above reproach. As future law enforcement officers, each cadet’s word and signature must be regarded as verification of the truth. The Coast Guard Academy’s Honor Concept is exemplified by a person who will neither lie, cheat, steal, nor attempt to deceive. It is epitomized by an individual who places loyalty to duty above loyalty to personal friendship or to selfish desire. While the Coast Guard Academy’s Honor Concept differs from a code, in that failure to report an honor offense is not itself an honor violation, cadets are required to report all activity that does not incriminate themselves. Moreover, the condoning of an honor violation is a Class I offense under the Cadet Regulations. Dis-enrollment is a very possible outcome. The Corps of Cadets are stewards of their Honor Concept.

At the center of their new world is adherence to a Concept or Cadet Honor Code to which they swear: “A cadet will not lie, cheat, or steal, nor tolerate those who do.” Their whole new world is shaped around these principles. This initially shapeless reality begins to form into principles of rigid honesty, loyalty to their fellow cadets, and respect for their classmates and all with whom they associate.

What is conduct unbecoming an officer and a lady? Does it violate the Honor Concept? Does conduct that violates the UCMJ constitute a higher standard than the Honor Concept? Times are changing so rapidly, one wonders if cadets and officers of today can be held to the same standards of conduct that were intended by the drafters of the UCMJ and the MCM promulgated in 1951? Not everyone can be expected to meet ideal moral standards, but how far can the standards of behavior of cadets and officers fall below contemporary community standards without seriously compromising their standing as officers and ladies? Have the changes in ethics and values of American society been reflected in the military?

Both the United States Military Academy and the United States Air Force Academy have adopted a Cadet Honor Code as a formalized statement of the minimum standard of ethics expected of cadets. Other military schools have similar codes with their own methods of administration. The United States Naval Academy, like the Coast Guard Academy, has a related standard, known as the Honor Concept.

The Cadet Honor Code at the Air Force Academy, like that at West Point, is the cornerstone of a cadet's professional training and development — the minimum standard of ethical conduct that cadets expect of themselves and their fellow cadets. Air Force's honor code was developed and adopted by the Class of 1959, the first class to graduate from the Academy, and has been handed down to every subsequent class. The code adopted was based largely on West Point's Honor Code, but was modified slightly to its current wording:

We will not lie, steal, or cheat, nor tolerate among us anyone who does.

In 1984, the Cadet Wing voted to add an "Honor Oath," which was to be taken by all cadets. The oath is administered to fourth class cadets (freshmen) when they are formally accepted into the Wing at the conclusion of Basic Cadet Training. The oath remains unchanged since its adoption in 1984, and consists of a statement of the code, followed by a resolution to live honorably:

We will not lie, steal or cheat, nor tolerate among us anyone who does.

Furthermore, I resolve to do my duty and to live honorably, so help me God.

Cadets are considered the "guardians and stewards" of the Code. Cadet honor representatives throughout the Wing oversee the honor system by conducting education classes and investigating possible honor incidents. Cadets throughout the Wing are expected to sit on Honor Boards as juries that determine whether their fellow cadets violated the code. Cadets also recommend sanctions for violations. Although the presumed sanction for a violation is di-senrollment, mitigating factors may result in the violator being placed in a probationary status for some period of time. This "honor probation" is usually only reserved for cadets in their first two years at the Academy. (Cadet Honor Code, from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

Bradley Manning and Webster Smith. Two Young Men Forced To Stand Before The Bar of Military Justice.

An Army Article 32 Investigating Officer has recommended that the charges against Bradley Manning be referred to a general court-martial. An article 32 Investigation is the equivalent of a civilian grand jury. In the military it is convened under the authority of Article 32 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ).

So, it is official. A military tribunal will be convened in this case. This is the Friday the 13th Double Whammy for Bradley Manning. These military tribunals will probably become more common under the Imperial Presidency of Barack Obama now that he has the legal authority to detain indefinitely without trial anyone considered a terrorist.

It would be wise for most American to become acquainted with the UCMJ and its procedures. This is the same type of forum that was used to convict Cadet Webster Smith at the U. S. Coast Guard Academy for alleged sexual assault. And it is the same type of forum that will be used to try the cadets at the U. S. Air Force Academy who were charged earlier this week with alleged sex crimes.

A book about the Webster Smith case describes the UCMJ procedure from pre-trial investigation all the way to the U. S. Supreme Court. It is entitled "CONDUCT UNBECOMING an Officer and Lady". It is available in Kindle format from Amazon.com and can be read for free on a Kindle reader.

The charges against Private Manning include aiding the enemy, wrongfully causing intelligence to be published on the Internet knowing it is accessible to the enemy, theft of public property or records, transmitting defense information and computer fraud.

If convicted, Manning, an army private before the WikiLeaks furor erupted, could be sentenced to life in prison. Webster Smith was sentenced to 6 months in prison, a bad conduct discharge, and separation form the armed forces. He was also required to register as a sex offender in the State of Texas.

The recommendation followed a seven-day Article 32 Investigation to determine if there was sufficient evidence to try the 24-year-old private from Oklahoma. The IO found that there was probable cause to proceed to a trial.

Manning is accused of giving WikiLeaks a massive trove of US military reports from Iraq and Afghanistan, 260,000 classified State Department cables, Guantanamo detainee assessments and videos of US air strikes.

Trained on various intelligence systems, Manning served in Iraq from November 2009 until his arrest in May 2010.

The anti-secrecy website began releasing the military documents in July 2010. It dumped the entire archive of diplomatic documents in September 2011, causing huge embarrassment to U.S. Government.

It is alleged that contact information for WikiLeaks founder, Julian Assange, military reports, cables and other classified material had been found on computers and storage devices used by Manning.

Our commander-in-chief, President Barack Obama, has publicly declared Manning guilty before he has had his day in court. One would have expected a former Constitutional law professor to show more respect for the presumption of innocence that an accused is afforded under the U. S. Constitution. This could sure taint any potential jury pool.

In his closing argument at the Article 32 hearing, Manning's civilian defense attorney David Coombs said the government "overcharged in this case". He begged the IO to reduce the charges to just three counts that would carry a total of 30 years in prison.

The defense portrayed Manning as suffering during his deployment near Baghdad from emotional problems stemming from his homosexuality, which his superiors did nothing to remedy.

Cadet Webster Smith was placed in pre-trial confinement and forced to work at hard labor for 6 months before he was taken to a trial. Bradley Manning was jailed for more than a year and a half. He complained of being placed in solitary confinement, of bullying by guards, and of being subjected to an ultra restrictive regime at the US military prison at the Marine Corps Base Quantico, Virginia just outside of Washington,DC.
