Description
For those who may not remember, I was the active duty, Air Force first lieutenant who filed court martial charges against Gen. John D. Lavelle on June 20, 1972. I was at that time a member of the Concerned Officer's Movement. Despite current reports that General Lavelle is innocent of the charges filed, I remain steadfast in my conviction that both my actions in filing the charges were, in traditional Air Force vernacular, "On target, Sir!." My involvement with the Concerned Officers Movement and a discussion of civil military relations will be left for another day, but for historical clarification, the motivations behind my charges against General Lavelle follow. Dr. Wayne Thompson, the author of the official Air Force history regarding this time frame, wrote that I filed the charges against General Lavelle on behalf of the Concerned Officers Movement. Nothing could be further from the truth. I never consulted any other member of the Concerned Officers Movement prior to filing the charges. Despite the fact that our desks were just a few feet from each other at the very same time Thompson was writing this history and despite the rather heavy public flogging I took for my actions, he never interviewed me about General Lavelle.
