Update on Trevor Loope
Trevor Loope might be be facing a court-marshal proceeding on July 1. Or maybe the proceeding will be delayed. Or maybe the charges against him will be dropped and he will be a favorable, non-punitive administrative separation --in effect acknowledging his PTSD and severe depression, and the failure of the military to provide the treatment that he requested upon his return from his combat tour in Afghanistan.
Supporters need to be prepared to travel to Watertown and pack the observation boxes in the court room if indeed the command does decide to try to make an example of him and proceed with a punitive court marshal. That could be as early as July 1st. Are you ready to drop what you are doing for the day and join us? If so, please use the contact form to let us know that you will be there for Trevor.
This video above was taken outside the PX facility at Ft. Drum on June 18 after Trevor appeared before a sanity board. Trevor Loope is joined by, Dr. Ogren, the psychologist in Houston who diagnosed Trevor while he was AWOL in Texas, and Tod Ensign, a lawyer who directs Citizen soldier.

Court-martial trial postponed to Juy 14
I just spoke with Trevor this morning. The court-martial trial has been rescheduled for July 14th (Bastille Day). The sanity board which interviewd him and also heard from Dr. Oberen, has yet to issue their report, so there is still a chance that the charges could be dropped and he could be given an administrative discharge (we would hope with honorable conditions). If not --if the command seeks to make an example of him irrespective of his diagnosis of PTSD and severe depression -- we need to be ready to travel to Ft. Drum for the special court-martial trial.
