USFK has released their monthly court martial results for September 2007 on their website this week.  It was a very busy month probably due to cases backlogged from UFL that are now just being brought to trial.  Pretty much the usual mix of stupid criminals with two serious criminals with one rape conviction by a USFK court martial and another rape conviction in the Korean courts.  The rape in Taegu for whatever reason did not make headlines in the Korean media.  Probably due to Taegu being a bit out of sight out of mind to the Korean media.

Another trend that is continuing this month is the fact that another MP and an Air Force Security Forces personnel were convicted of crimes.  The amount of MPs and security forces personnel getting court martialed is quite troubling.

Something else interesting this month is that the Stars and Stripes has begun to publish the USFK court martial results as well, which I think is a good thing because I have always felt educated soldiers make better decisions.  If they are educated about the consequences of committing crime they will make better decisions to avoid putting themselves into situations which could get them into trouble.

Anyway the full court martial results are below the fold:
