Home of the 101st Airborne, Ft. Campbell Sees It’s Fair Share of Charges Under the UCMJ
Now, that is not to say that members of the 101st Airborne are somehow more prone to finding themselves on the wrong side of the UCMJ. Rather, that the base which houses this epic and historic unit is simply massive and where two or more Soldiers are gathered, someone is going to break a rule sooner or later. In some cases, the intent is malicious and in others, it is simply a side effect of men who are trained to adapt, overcome, and think outside of the box. Perhaps a stellar example of the latter can be taken from the famed mini-series, Band of Brothers, which chronicled the exploits of Easy Company of the 101st World War 2.
As Hollywood fiction, this would be an entertaining plot twist. However, considering this is based on historical fact makes it remarkable. Good men and women will, at times, have a moral case for violating the UCMJ. If that was true of the famed 101st in WW2 then it can equally be true of the famed 101st today. If for no other reason than that fact alone, those men and women deserve top tier military court martial defense.
