Hopefully, the short version:
A Green Beret was killed by other special forces men in a hazing incident in Mali. Two tried to put blame on another Green Beret (Jaimie Morris) saying Morris gave permission for the hazing. That was to deflect blame and others testified Morris has no involvement at all. CID investigated and no charges were filed. Yet CID reports most investigations regardless of outcome to the FBI who enters the data in the DB used by NICS as ARRESTS even thought no arrest was ever executed.
Morris finds our when his local sheriff's office called about his carry permit renewal wanting to know about the murder, aggravated sexual assault and other charges. This process of reporting investigations is called "titling" and is "just an administrative process."
Morris tried to get the DOD's Inspector General to help.
Once again the federal gov is an absolute failure.

Morris tried to get the DOD's Inspector General to help.
Last November, Morris filed a complaint with the Defense Department’s inspector general. At some point between then and June, the murder charge and negligent homicide charges were inexplicably scrubbed from his record. But a slew of other charges remain, including attempted aggravated sexual contact, soliciting another to commit aggravated assault and obstruction of justice.
Despite a judge advocate issuing a memo in June finding no probable cause that Morris committed the offenses, CID refuses to untitle Morris.
In an Aug. 15 email reviewed by Fox News, a CID agent said the allegations against Morris were changed to "no probable cause" and that his fingerprints were removed from the database. But the agent wrote that DoD rules prohibit individuals from being untitled unless there is a case of mistaken identity or an error was made in applying the "credible information standard."
"Mr. Morris will remain titled," the agent wrote. "Titling is an administrative function and NOT indicative of a criminal determination."
But when it comes to a background check, that "administrative function" looks a lot like criminal wrongdoing. The flag on his record stopped Morris from progressing in the Army.
"I was at the prime of my career to be able to move forward, to do what every young Green Beret joins to do and become a team sergeant or a team leader and lead those guys and show them what you’ve learned from all your years," he said.
Instead, his career stalled out in 2019. In May of this year, Morris said he was pressured to leave the Army after 18 years and 10 months. He was just over a year away from obtaining the coveted military pension.
"He didn't want to get out of the military," Addicott, Morris' lawyer, said. "He lost hundreds of thousands of dollars" by retiring before the 20-year mark.
And getting a job — or a concealed carry permit — is no easy feat when it looks like you’ve been arrested for murder or attempted sex crimes. Morris said he applied to 80-some jobs over the course of a year. He got two interviews.
Once again the federal gov is an absolute failure.
