By The convictions of US servicemembers for child porn is an increasing trend that it is quite obvious the military is really cracking down on:
A soldier was found guilty Friday and sentenced to 16 months in prison for possessing child pornography.
Pfc. Joseph M. Robillard, 19, of the 55th Military Police Company, also received a bad-conduct discharge from military Judge Col. Donna Wright at the Camp Casey courtroom.
Robillard possessed five films of children as young as 9 forced to engage in sex acts with each other and with adults.
"These are real children," prosecutor Capt. James Richardson said following the trial. "They were victims at some point, and his crime perpetuates that cycle."
Robillard’s roommate discovered the porn on the computer and notified his commander, according to court documents. [Stars & Stripes]
The 16 month jail sentence is actually greater then some of the rape convictions I have read about which shows how serious the military is on cracking down on this.

One thing I never understood… maybe somebody can tell me what I’m missing.
If I was in the military and there was some corrupt scumbag impeding my promotion, I would be tempted to slip a CD into their desk with some kitty pr0n on it… and then make an anonymous call to CID/OSI telling them where to find the largest diaper sniper on post/base.
I gotta believe it would be Career Over.
Now… my question…
…why isn’t this type of thing done more?

It might have been Chikenhead who I took to task once for wishing gleely for a USFK MP to get raped and beaten in prison.
I'm going to have to turn major hypocrite on this one and say I hope the same happens to this convicted ass.
Possessing such material certainly isn't as bad as making it – but it encourages it and it takes its own part in it —- and it f**** the child up for life.
The soldier possessing this material should pay in more ways than just sitting in prison….

Ahh… PFC Robillard…. I would be the roommate that they are talking about… Actually he was a generally nice guy. Nobody would ever expected such things as this to come out of him. The truth was this was the hardest thing that i had to do to a good friend of mine, But my wife and I are expecting a child next month. I couldnt imagen anybody to have a film of my child like the ones I saw. It was the right thing for me to do. The months he got, are the ones he deserved!!

Hmm.. let me take a stab at this.
1) It takes a special kind of sick person to frame somebody, ruin their life and send them to prison with a bulls-eye on their back, because of some perceived slight. Thank god there are not too many of these type of people.
2) Normal people don't have kd prn laying around to use in the frame up. Again thank GOD there re not too many people like that.
3) Many of the tards that try that, end up getting hoisted by their own petards. We need more of these.
b-b-b-but o-o-o-officer I-I was only downloading kd Prn to frame up my boss, because he made me peel potatoes all day.
4) Remind me never to cross chicken-head.
