Kevin Benderman further update

E-mail from Jack Dalton:
I just got off the phone with Monica Benderman. The court found Kevin guilty of "missing a movement" and sentenced him to 15 months in a military prison. The prosecutor told the court in his closing argument that, "because Sgt Benderman wouldn't deploy, soldiers in his unit died." What an outrageous lie! Not a single soldier in Kevin's unit has died. This was first and foremost punishment based on Kevin going public and not his refusal to deploy.

[...]

I'm working on a much bigger essay about this but wanted to let you all know the results of Kevin's court martial right away.
