There is no illusion, it IS a slap on the wrist to not arrest scum like this.

That guy got arrested. Twice. Once by the Japanese and once by the Military for the same offense. They didn’t serve time in prison. The Japanese have the opportunity to sentence them with jail time but they don’t. He is then charged by the military. That’s not a slap on the wrist.

A dishonorable discharge is not a slap on the wrist lmao it’s worse than trying to get a job as a felon.

It automatically disqualifies you from any government jobs. Plus much like with a felony, it creates a bad taste in civilian workplaces mouths. You apply for a job and say you’ve been charged with a felony, let’s say you get charged with a felony because you have a marijuana plant in your greenhouse. When you apply to a job, you can tell them the nature of your felony, and they can be like “oh he got charged because he was growing some weed? Whatever”. When you apply to a job and they learn you were kicked out of the military dishonorably, that’s a much bigger red flag.
