When you are accused of a serious crime outside the United States, who investigates, who holds you, and who prosecutes you?

The answer often depends on a Status of Forces Agreement, commonly called a SOFA. You can read more about it here:

Jump to 5:30 for Major Jim Capers and Colonel John Ripley’s award background. Jim is a warrior’s warrior. He’s a legend, icon, and inspiration. None more brave or loyal.

Colonel Ripley is perhaps better known. At a mess night - I watched him once eschew the spotlight and applause to publicly recognize another humble retired warrior and fellow Navy Cross recipient who inspired me to be an infantry officer. It was a subtle gesture but one I saw, appreciated, and still remember over 30 years later.

I feel lucky to have spent a little time with Major Capers and a few minutes with Colonel Ripley.

Jim Capers is a legend. There’s no one more loyal to his brothers and he walks the walk. The betrayal it took this long to receive the recognition he deserves is a shame. I hope Trump acts quickly on this.

James Capers Jr. led a small reconnaissance team through an ambush in Vietnam even though he had more than a dozen shrapnel and bullet wounds.

Never walk into a military investigation alone. That’s exactly how generals and commanders tip the scales against you. They have trained teams: so should you. DO: Invoke your right to counsel immediately; bring an experienced military defense attorney to every meeting. DON’T: Try to "clear things up" solo, or believe investigators are just looking for your "side of the story." Everything you say is am******on for their case: not your defense.

With 25+ years of battle-tested victories for warriors worldwide, we know exactly where these investigations break down. We stand ready; 24/7, global reach, no fear, no hesitation. Real Defense. Real Results.

You pop positive on a urinalysis. Don’t panic: act fast. This is war, not a negotiation. Protect yourself immediately:

1️⃣ Don’t admit ANYTHING. Silence is tactical. Investigators and commanders are NOT your allies.

2️⃣ Demand to see all documentation. Chain of custody errors, improper procedures, or faulty labs can tip the scales. Know every fact before they do.

3️⃣ Did you know you can request a second test. Time matters: get advice before doing so.

4️⃣ Contact a military defense attorney with experience. We’re not a referral service, we’re trial lawyers who fight institutional abuse every day. Call 24/7.

5️⃣ Never volunteer information, statements, or consent to a search.

This is your fight. You deserve aggressive, strategic defense. The Armed Forces do NOT get the final say.
