Soldier Might Face Court Martial For Blasting Bush

HeadlineNov 14, 2003

The Illinois Leader is reporting that an Illinois National Guard soldier may face court martial for her public criticism of President Bush on a local Rockford area radio talk show last Friday. According to the Leader, Seargent Jessica Macek at home on leave, said the President lied about the reasons for going to war in Iraq. A US Central Command spokesman responded to the comments saying “While she wears the uniform she voluntarily agreed to curtail her behavior for the purpose of maintaining discipline and cohesion.”
