KANSAS CITY, Mo. — An Iraq war veteran who was recommended
for a general discharge because he wore his uniform to a protest
lost his appeal Wednesday for a new hearing.
An attorney for Cpl. Adam Kokesh appealed after a military panel
Monday recommended kicking him out of the Marines for the uniform
infraction and using an obscenity in an e-mail to superior officers.
Kokesh, a member of Iraq Veterans Against the War, was pictured
in uniform attending the March protest in a photograph that ran in
The Washington Post. He said he removed his name tag and military
emblems, making it clear he was not representing the military.
Brig. Gen. Darrell L. Moore, one of the two officers who got the
e-mail that included the obscenity, dismissed the appeal, said
Gunnery Sgt. Chad Homan. He is expected to complete his legal
review of the board's proceedings and recommendation within the
next week.
