Douglas Dietrich lies about his father's service - Claims again he was reduced in rank

During a rancid and pathetic rant attempting to discredit and slander his detractors, Douglas Dietrich repeated his claim that his father George J. Dietrich had been "busted" (Non-Judicial Punishment or Article 15) from E-7 down to E-6. 

Dietrich also demonstrated a manipulation and/or lack of knowledge of the facts regarding the FOIA Act of 1974 and the Privacy Act.

"He was busted down, by a rank, he was stripped of a rank because he was married too many times.  Many of the wives complained and wrote that he wasn't supporting them, because he didn't like they fact they couldn't deliver him children because he was sterile from exposure to all the radiation tests, the nuclear tests, the atomic bomb tests from Bikini Atoll all the way to Enewetak, all over the Pacific".

So, even my dad said his balls glowed in the dark.  And as a result, he married my mother, an Asian thinking she would be more fertile". And because of the many complaints by all these white women, (five at least), the Navy accused him of creating a scandal and stripped him down by a rank because he had become a "sore eye on the Navy."

The claim is absolutely false.

According to the National Archives and Records Administration, (NA Form 13164), George Dietrich was awarded the US Navy Good Conduct Medal 7 times and was eligible for an 8th award.  This is evidence that he did not receive any disciplinary action or reduction in rank during his time of active duty service in the Navy.

US Navy Good Conduct Medal

                 

                                 

"To be awarded the medal, a military member must serve three years without any formal discipline such as a Letter of Reprimand, Article 15 or Court Martial. This medal is automatic if the time is appropriately served".

George Dietrich was eligible for an 8th award of the Navy Good Conduct Medal but did not receive the award because he had not met the 3-year requirement at his retirement.
