The only bright side of this is that this dude has been in jail so long most of his connections are probably stale and it's unlikely anyone will want to deal with someone that well-known. Probably assume he has transmitters in his teeth and is MK-Ultra'd to phone home to the US every night.

Are you saying demoncrats are barbaric human rights abusers who should be ostracized by every first world country around the globe? Or that you get an erection by killing puppies while you sniff radon in your basement with your grandma?
Either way you're an ointment for brains sociopath, and I hate that because you give other sociopaths a bad name.

I have lost some interest in the Man that the Russians have in prison, since facts are coming out about him that show him not to be such an outstanding marine, but if the facts are correct and he got a bad conduct discharge from the Corp it is even more likely that he was not doing any spying for the United States and is imprisoned wrongly on a charge that is BS.
When I served, luckily, I never got caught up in the military justice system. Could I have been? Sure. Because at the end of the day, it isn't hard to slip up in that environment. Even being late for work is a punishable offense.
Now imagine if civilian jobs operated a similar justice system. Your job can take part of your pay. Your job can restrict you from leaving your place of work. Your job could limit what you eat for up to 3 days. And the people handing out the sentence are not legal professionals. They are ship drivers, pilots or sub drivers. All with little to no legal training.
Did this kid deserve a bcd. That I don't know. What I do know is that a lot of times the hammer is slammed down much harder than it needs to be in the military. The UCMJ is neither uniform nor just. Take Abu Ghraib. The highest rank that got sentenced to prison was an E-5. E-5s don't make policy. That guy's boss and his boss' boss knew exactly what was going on. So why didn't they end up in a cell right next to that guy? Because RHIP. The lady running the show got a letter of reprimand. She was on 60 minutes belly aching how her punishment was unfair.

You're not wrong; however, full disclosure, a letter of reprimand for an officer can be, and likely is a career killer (all things being equal).
Even if she stays/stayed in, her options with that letter in her file severely restrict her options as far as rank and command.
In the Navy, she might make LT, and possibly be in charge of a tug, or some other support vessel. Maybe an AIMD if she was shore-based (brown shoe), or something equivalent if she were a black shoe.
If she were really good, and sucked up a lot, she might make LCDR in time to retire. I assume it's similar across the services.

Going to be honest, I don't understand your response and am going to assume it's meant to be unflattering. You are on permanent ignore, don't bother to respond.Are you saying demoncrats are barbaric human rights abusers who should be ostracized by every first world country around the globe?

Oh please don't put me on permanent double secret ignore, what ever will I do.
Perhaps you'd prefer to speak to the complaint department.
