Major Gregory McMillion is an American soldier with the 728th Air Control Squadron[1] who was found guilty of looting during the Iraq War.
McMillion had shipped contraband material looted in Iraq back to the United States, including a statue taken from an Iraqi museum, Iraqi army uniforms including 1,183 berets and 600 pairs of socks, dozens of captured Iraqi weapons including automatic rifles, bayonets and artillery shells. He disputed the theft of the statue, arguing that he had no way of knowing it was stolen.[2][3][4]
Charged with violating the no-souvenirs order, failing to report and turn over captured property, conduct unbecoming an officer and making false statements, McMillion was sentenced to one year confinement, and a discharge from the military.[2][3]
The judge, Colonel Ronald Gregory, recommended a waiver from forfeiture of Gregory's pay.[2]
