Episode notes

Gary's Warning: The military can take years of honorable service and destroy it in the final years before retirement, leaving soldiers with nothing. Unlike civilian employment, there's no union protection, no ability to sue, and no real legal standing.

The episode serves as a cautionary tale about the lack of accountability in the military justice system and how decorated officers can engage in unethical behavior without consequences.
