ORIGINAL: popeye1250 I just don't see how a longer sentence would "serve" the public in this matter. That's how I see it popeye. From this civilian's point of view, this whole situation amounted to nothing more than a sophomoric love triangle that went a bit overboard. Not having been in the military myself, but having a sibling that went through a divorce while in the military, I know the armed forces take a very dim view of such shenanigans in the first place, let alone having them become highly public and visible as this affair has become. I'm surmising there were backroom talks between the civilian court and the military to wrap up the civilian side in relatively short order so that military justice can begin. NASA already kicked these three out because of their indiscretions and I wouldn't be surprised if similar, if not harsher penalties will be handed down upon these three by their respective service branches for letting this get way out of hand.
