What charges and punishment would Kent have faced for his actions in the movie? Keep in mind he isn't with the military...

Who?

lole

>he's employed by the government and he tried to nuke American soil. At best, he'd get life imprisonment for treason.
What happened to the guys that authorised Waco, and a million other things the US government has done to its own people? The truth is that nothing happened to Mansley at all.
The whole event was totally hushed up. Everything was denied. The media pushed out some bullshit, the townspeople probably wound up believing the official story, and everyone that thought different was discredited and had their reputations ruined.

Executed for high treason

Same with whatever officers obeyed the illegal order to deploy the nuke

>these people think the U.S actually punishes their war criminals and traitors

lmao

>What happened to the guys that authorised Waco, and a million other things the US government has done to its own people?
Mansley didn't have authorization to order the launch of a nuke though, and right after he committed Desertion by hijacking a military jeep and attempting to flee.

a show trial that pins all of the blame and consequences for the Giant's destruction on him, as a way to convince the public that it was neatly tied up and concluded

They might recognize that he was trying to do his best to keep the US safe, but he'll still be sent to a listening station on Alaska.

Seriously, why did none of those soldiers even raised their guns to stop Mansley ? They hold him at gunpoint right after the giant stops him, so why didn't they do it here ? I'm not saying they shoot him, but at least force him to stop the vehicle

Glow-in-the-darks can do whatever they want, user. I'm sorry I had to be the one to tell you this.

Waco is good because fuck cults. The last time the US didn't deal with a cult is killed 900 Americans, stole over a million dollars, slave labor, and the cult blew the brains out of an American Congressman who was there to save people.

Cults don't deserve sympathy or rights.

Ludicrously based.

Why were they ready to fire a nuke at the giant if it was near the city anyway?

Alaska has a bunch of nukes ready to launch to wherever because it's right near Russia, bro.

What is a "Glow in the Dark"? literally have never heard that term in describing any form of government agent before

die, newfag

The iron giant literally has a statue dedicated tot him in their town afterwards.

Navy user here. This situation wouldn't have ever happened. Even in the earliest days of Boomers (Ballistic Missile Submarines), the launch chain was extremely well-defined and safeguarded against this exact kind of bullshit. The only way that bird is flying is if the Commanding and Executive officer of the sub individually verify launch authorization, which then goes to the Weapons Officer and a slew of other steps. It takes quite a while to go through the process, and ANY error or interruption fully cancels the launch sequence, no questions asked.

Even if, for whatever reason, he was given the same authorization as the President for launch, the time it would take for the sub's crew to authorize and ready the launch would give the General infinitely more than enough time to cancel the strike package.

First of all, JAG would have the entire chain of command for the Boomer shitcanned. CO/XO and Command Master Chief would all be fired and likely facing similar charges to what I'm about to list.

Mansley, since he was in a position of situational authority over US military assets, would be tried under the UCMJ, the set of specific laws that members of the military and its contractors are held to which are more stringent than regular civil law. As follows, he violated the following articles (note this is not exhaustive; if JAG wants to fuck you, the only question you're going to have is how wide your asshole is about to be):

A89 - Disrespect towards a superior commissioned officer
A92 - Failure to obey a lawful order
A99 - Misbehavior before the enemy (cowardice)
A106 - Impersonation of an Officer
A107 - False official statement
A108 - Destruction of military property
A109 - Destruction of non-military property
A110 - Improper hazarding of a vessel

Note that he would NOT be tried for mutiny, since that requires more than one individual. Also, he could not be executed, as the US was not at war.

There is a mothman statue and some local people believe in it and have claimed to see it, but that doesn't mean the whole country/world believes in the mothman cryptid.
