This is probably more suited for an Army forum, but oh well.... OK, I think she's a moron, in all regards, and I'm disappointed to see that the judge through out her guilty plea.... But my real question is; whats the deal with her and that damn maroon beret?

Its my understanding that in order to wear one, you must be assigned to an airborne unit AND graduate jump school. Otherwise one would wear the black beret. By that picture, you can clearly see she does not have jump wings. Doesnt seem right to me... :confused:

My biggest question about her is what's the deal with always holding a soda can? I have not seen one in a news article where she's not holding one!

And yesterday's picture of her was pepsi, and now it's coke? What's the deal? I mean, pick one and go with it!

On a serious note though, does anyone think the court is going to buy her lawyers' statements that she was deprived of oxygen at birth, thus limiting her ability to make clear decisions?

Note: I've just been informed it is in fact a Dr. Pepper, not a Coke.

That actually looks like a dr pepper.

What I heard is that she was assigned to an airborne unit, and regs are now that all members of the unit can wear the beret as it's a uniform item.

The thing is, by throwing out the guilty plea the judge has also thrown out the deal she had made with prosecutors. Therefore, when they convene another article 32 hearing, decide to retry her, and she's forced to enter a plea of not guilty they can throw the proverbial book at her if she's found guilty.

That's my understanding at least. Any JAG guys want to weigh in here?

Oh, and the only thing I know about berets is that if I had to wear one, I'd have Rusty monogramed on it like in National Lampoon's European Vacation.

To me, I'm thinking there's some sort of shameless plugging here. Look at the woman on the right (England's left), she's basically saying "Here's to you baby. Have a Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper on me. Then we'll get it on, because you drank it."

There's just so much sex in ads these days.

Ok, end of my threadjacking... back to the original topic of the beret and wondering if the court will buy her no-oxygen argument.

I see. I was under the impression that if you were a boot assigned to an airborne unit, you wore either black beret or BDU cover, depending on the uniform. Interesting, I must say.

Airborne unit at Hood, though? They must have stuck her in with a LRS company with either the 4th ID or 1st Cav.

In fact, the frequency at which she has been observed holding the aforementioned soft drink cans may be contributing to her revolting, portly figure. Wasn't she pregnant by one of her co-conspirators, or did she already crap out that little crumb cruncher? What a bright future that child has in store for it.
