Ok, so U.S. Rockets [NEVER] existed? I am confused!

  Quoted Text Here  

Correct.
Certainly.

Who doesn't? We all want that. The difference is, Jerry thinks TRA/NAR should ignore any laws and regulations that inconvenience him in any way. He also blames TRA/NAR for every law and regulation ever written regarding rocketry (including those that predate both orgs) as if all government agencies are mere pawns of TRA/NAR.

If he doesn't like the current laws, he has the same options as the rest of us: He can ignore them AT HIS OWN RISK; or he can work with the government agencies (or through the courts) to have them changed.

At one point while I was a member of TRA the majority of their BOD (5 of 9 IIRC) had substance abuse problems, and 2 had felony records or equivalent.

God. Will you guys just freakin' get over it? All of you. Jerry included.
It's old. It's dead. It's been beat, and re-beat, and re-re-beat over, and over, and nothing has changed. And it won't change.
We've CPR'd it. We've defibrilated it. It's dead Jim.
Jeez...

Sorry, just had to say that. Threatening incipient mayhem seems to be the in thing on RMR these days, and I just HAVE to fit in, you know. ;-)

Yeah, I guess in this case the ongoing cat fight is kind of a fixture. You know, like the "It's a Small World Ride" at Disney. No matter how progressive, or expansive the park gets, that ride will probably be there for eons. Not heavily trafficed, and relegated to the corner, but a "fixture" nonetheless...

Guess I'll just have to retrain myself to ignore the constant rantings of the omnipresent lunatic minds here on RMR...
Speaking of which, so where's Chris?

Make sure you've had your shots - he bites.

Is Chris a Jerry supporter like Iz?

Dunno.
Is Jerry analog, or digital?

Um, just a hunch, Tod, but does this have something to do with capitalizing words in the middle of sentences and arguing vehemantly over the small matters?

There's more than one Chris, so be specific.

Military court martial.

  Quoted Text Here  
A court martial is a trial.
To be court martialed is the same as being put on trial.
Equating a court martial with a felony conviction is just... dumb.

You are absolutely correct in your explanation of what a court marshal is, (a trial). However, all US military court martial convictions are legally equivalent to a federal felony conviction. It matters not if the courts martial conviction is the result of Summary, Special, or General Courts martial trial.

Normally, only a general court martial conviction is equivalent to a felony conviction. A felony is a crime for which the punishment in federal law may be death or imprisonment for more than one year. A summary court-martial may only impose restriction for two months or less. A special court-martial may impose confinement for no more than six months. A general court-martial may impose any punishment that is not otherwise prohibited by the UCMJ, including the death penalty when specifically authorized.
