LAWTON — A military judge has found a Fort Sill soldier guilty of sexual offenses against a child, the fifth soldier from the Army post to be convicted of sexual misconduct with a child since July 2012. Sgt. Kristoffer R. Lenning was sentenced to 43 years confinement, reduction to the lowest rank and a dishonorable discharge.

The fort’s leaders have previously declined to comment on the number of such cases. However, in an emailed response Monday, a Fort Sill spokesman said “one assault is too many.”

QUINCY — The day after a Plumas County jury found Gregory Chad Wallin-Reed guilty of murdering Rory McGuire, the victim’s mother said the world seems different, if ever so slightly. The jury of 10 women and two men needed less than three hours to find Wallin-Reed, 38, of Reno, guilty of first-degree murder in McGuire’s shooting death. They convicted him of seven additional felony counts that include firing at an occupied vehicle, five counts of assault with a deadly weapon, and possession of an illegal assault rifle.

Rachel Poole, Pregnant Wife, Brutally Stabbed At Home As Soldier Husband Watches On Video Chat

A soldier stationed overseas watched in horror as his pregnant wife was stabbed in her home while the two chatted on video.

Rachel Poole, 31, was rushed to the hospital in critical condition after a man who was allegedly hiding in the home stabbed her multiple times in Texas on Wednesday. Poole was nine months pregnant at the time. Police say Corey Bernard Moss stabbed Poole from behind with a stainless steel knife, according to KFOX.

During the attack, her husband, Justin Pele Poole, an American soldier stationed thousands of miles away in Asia, saw the attack unfold as the two talked over FaceTime, according to ABC15.

Re-visiting Mefloquine Use at Guantanamo: A Guest Post by Dr. Remington Nevin

Did the CIA direct the U.S. military to administer a powerful antimalarial drug to Guantanamo detainees, not for its antimalarial properties, but for its intoxicating and behavioral side effects as an aid to interrogation? This is the seemingly impenetrable question that I have been exploring for the past few years, ever since Seton Hall Law professor Mark Denbeaux and investigative reporters Jason Leopold and Jeffrey Kaye asked me to review medical files from Guantanamo inmates obtained from the Department of Defense (DoD) via a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request.

These FOIA records revealed what on casual inspection seems a benign, even benevolent medical practice: according to standard operating procedures, every detainee arriving at Guantanamo immediately received a curative dose of 1,250mg of the antimalarial drug mefloquine.

Robert Rheault dies at 87; Green Beret commander accused of murder

Robert Rheault dies at 87; Green Beret commander accused of murder

The colonel and five of his men were implicated in the death of a suspected South Vietnamese double agent during the Vietnam War. The charges were dropped.

In 1969 Col. Robert Rheault landed a long-coveted assignment in Vietnam: commanding the Green Berets, the daring U.S. Special Forces group championed by President Kennedy and glorified by John Wayne. He had held the job for only three weeks, however, when a scandal broke — one that Time magazine would later call “second only to the My Lai killings.”

Rheault (pronounced Roe) and five of his men were accused of murder and conspiracy in the death of a suspected South Vietnamese double agent. When questioned by his superiors, Rheault said the man was away on a secret mission when in fact his body had already been dumped in the South China Sea.

Fort Carson Green Beret colonel makes rare speech

The reason the Green Berets will seemingly stand still as the rest of the Army endures the convulsions of the post-war Pentagon is that units such as 10th Group have thrived on uncertainty and constant change.

“What will be required of our Green Berets in days ahead has not changed,” Col George Thiebes said.

One fact Thiebes revealed: 10th Group troops have been busy. In the past year, 1,000 of the soldiers have worked in 42 countries – primarily in Europe, Africa and the Middle East. That’s no surprise.

Soldiers from 10th Group were some of the first Americans in the 2003 attack on Iraq. The Fort Carson troops advised the Kurds in northern Iraq that played a key role in the defeat of Saddam Hussein.

Wisconsin National Guard launches dedicated counsel program for sexual assault victims

MADISON, Wis. – Military sexual assault prevention and response programs have gained attention over the past year as a Department of Defense report shows an increase in reported sexual assaults. Maj. Gen. Donald Dunbar, Wisconsin adjutant general, has made it clear the issue is a top priority in the Wisconsin National Guard as well.

“There is no place for sexual assault in the Wisconsin National Guard,” Dunbar said. “We will not look the other way.”

Over the past few months, Dunbar and other senior Wisconsin National Guard leaders have visited every Wisconsin National Guard unit and facility to convey that simple, unmistakable message.

Currently, the Wisconsin National Guard’s sexual assault prevention and response program provides sexual assault and domestic violence victims with emergency response assistance, counseling and therapy referrals, personal and systemic advocacy, and access to applicable benefits. But as of Oct. 1, Wisconsin National Guard members coping with the unthinkable crime of being sexually assaulted by a fellow service member have a new advocate.

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month at Fort Hood. The focus given by military leaders on this critical matter both heightens community awareness and highlights the support available to those affected by violence in the home.

Fort Eustis Staff Sergeant Pleads Guilty to Robbing York County Credit Union

A U.S. Army staff sergeant stationed at Fort Eustis pleaded guilty Tuesday to the April 6 robbery of the Grafton branch of the Langley Federal Credit Union on George Washington Memorial Highway (Route 17).

York-Poquoson Circuit Court judge Richard Y. AtLee Jr. accepted the guilty plea from 38-year-old Dorman Ronald Shaw during a Tuesday morning hearing. Shaw’s plea covers the robbery charge, however it does not address the use of a firearm in the commission of a felony charge that remains against him. A two-day jury trial is scheduled to cover that charge Nov. 8 and 9.
