SGM Morrone, whose actual name is William Anthony Morrone, has been in the Army for 20+ years, under his brother's name, Gerald Morrone. He enlisted that way since he was somehow ineligible to enter the service.

For some reason he was arrested when he was on leave and his identity revealed to the Army. I do not have the detail on this.

I recently did baliff duties for the United State vs. Morrone, to re-instate his pay, which is public record, was regarding that they have stopped paying him since his time of civilian incarceration, and have not started paying him again since he enlisted fraudently, though he is reporting to duty and cannot work elsewhere preventing him from other employment.

The United States side of the council was unsure of where to make an exception to start his pay, saying that it could the decision of POTUS or SEFDEF.

This is an interesting case which raises moral questions.

1. Since this individual has had a distinguished career as an infantryman and done many great things for the Army, should he be entitled to his retirement?

2. What should be done? If he does not have to atone for his lack of integrity, it sets another example of an individual in a high position being able to get away with anything.

A few links on charges and other things;
