Master Sgt. Nathan Sommers, a decorated soloist with the Army Band, was found guilty of failing to go to an appointed place of duty, disobedience of an order and making a false official statement, his attorney said. The charges were handed down one day after Sommers told Fox News that he was facing discrimination and persecution because of his conservative political and religious beliefs. Retired Navy Commander John Bennett Wells told Fox News the charges were stemmed from giving a superior officer the wrong date for a doctor’s appointment. He’s also accused of failing to carry out an order. In order to comply with that order, Sommers would have had to disclose private information about his autistic son’s medical records. “The timing does seem strange,” Wells told Fox News. “It’s suspicious. It looks like a graduated attempt to build a case against him on some really ridiculous charges. Wells is representing the 25-year veteran who, until last summer, had a spotless record. “MSG Sommers wants to thank the tens of thousands of Americans that have followed his case and offered up prayers for his case,” Wells said. “He has decided to put his fate in God’s hands and continues to pray for those who are persecuting him.” foxnewsinsider/2013/06/24/sgt-nathan-sommers-found-guility-army-after-reprimand-reading-books-conservatives
