Relief for Lt. Whiteside?

It appears as though the Army may not prosecute Lt. Elizabeth Whiteside, who, although having severe mental problems, faced court-martial charges.. The hearing officer recommended against any further action against her. His words were "One of the Army values is integrity, which is defined as doing what is right, legally and morally. The moral thing to do is dismiss these charges, to allow 1LT Whiteside to end her military service and receive the benefits that she will desperately need for the remainder of her life."

That's one for the good guys, if the hearing officer's recommendation is accepted by the higher-ups.
