Air Force to revoke Bronze Star recipient's retirement benefits for hot tub incident
2021-11-09
[Just The News] An Air Force combat photographer will lose his retirement benefits at month's end due to a disputed touching incident in a hot tub six years earlier, unless the Congressional Justice for Warriors Caucus can convince the military otherwise.

A court martial and administrative discharge proceeding failed to remove Master Sgt. Jeremy Zier, according to documents reviewed by Just the News, sparking a social media campaign to remove him that included the now-No. 2 at the Air Force.

The month before President Biden nominated Gina Ortiz Jones for undersecretary, the failed congressional candidate tweeted that the administrative result sends the message sexual assault victims are "not valued."

Months earlier, after the court martial, she tweeted that this was not a "sex case" because "Sex is consensual." In a message shared with Just the News, Zier told his military lawyer this was "meant to insinuate that I raped" the woman who accused him.

#3  My understanding of the military field awards is that they can be revoked anytime for any reason. The awarding officer doesn't have to explain why and can give the award to someone else.
