On IN SHORT ORDER, Thursday, July 20th at 9:00PM EST, Sue Vogan will be speaking with attorney Guy Womack.
Guy has represented many soldiers, but one case is close to home with Sue Vogan. It is the case of "United States v. M.W. Army SGT charged with 2 specifications of negligent homicide for driving tracked vehicle over 2 South Korean teenage girls. Jury trial by General Courts-Martial, at Camp Casey, ROK, acquitted on all. Riots erupt throughout South Korea at announcement of verdict." It was Sue's involvement with this case that turned her life into a living hell that she has yet to escape from.
What started out being a good deed suddenly turned into a nightmare. Death threats and hateful emails were arriving almost on a daily basis -- some in Korean. But, even if Sue had wanted to turn back, it was too late. The trial was over and the riots ensued. A kidnapping, injured American soldiers, and the soldier who was really responsible for this tragic accident was nowhere to be found (the military had relocated him). The soldiers who were originally charged were sent back to the states. The only thing left was the military’s need to make someone pay -- that would be Sue Vogan.
At this time, Sue was having severe complications from Lyme disease. Her soldier-husband came home on mid-tour leave from South Korea. As the doctors gave Sue less than 48-hours to live and there was 21-days left on military leave, the command in South Korea was signing paperwork that would immediately and illegally list her husband AWOL. Doctors begged for a compassionate reassignment; the soldier begged for a compassionate reassignment; even a Chaplain requested a compassionate reassignment for Sue’s husband. The military turned a deaf ear. Instead, the couple was held against their will at the FSH-IG, income was cut off, insurance was cancelled, the command refused to send the soldier’s belongings home, and the soldier was denied any signs of compassion.
Sue wrote letters, sent documentation, made calls, and even wrote a book, NCO: No Compassion Observed, attempting to get this straightened out. Now, after three years, the Secretary of the Army states, “We consider these matters closed and that they warrant no further action by this office.”
Sue Vogan considers these matters open and the military’s investigations a travesty. The AWOL was not in accordance with protocol -- it was illegal. There was never any desertion charges filed or were never filed according to regulations (no notification was ever received) -- that’s illegal. According to regulations, the soldier’s belongings are to be sent to the next of kin (Sue Vogan), that never happened -- this is illegal. In this case, the military command has failed miserably and it’s time to set this record straight.
