@Finn dAbuzz,
Dreyfus was court-martialed. That's a different type of justice, generally more brutal, and in this particular case it was headed by old antisemite types who reached their verdict in secret.
Are you saying that Trump risks being court-martialed?
For the record, Dreyfus was officially exonerated by a military commission in 1906.
Readmitted into the army with a promotion, he was made Knight of the Legion of Honour, and subsequently assigned to command an artillery unit. He retired before the war, but enlisted in 1914 as a reservist, fought in Verdun among other positions, and retired for good in 1918 with the rank of Lieutenant-colonel and the title of Officer of the Légion d'Honneur.
Quote:Dreyfus died in Paris aged 75, on 12 July 1935, exactly 29 years after his exoneration. Two days later, his funeral cortège passed the Place de la Concorde through the ranks of troops assembled for the Bastille Day national holiday (14 July 1935). He was interred in the Cimetière du Montparnasse, Paris. The inscription on his tombstone is in Hebrew and French. It reads (translated to English):
Here Lies
Lieutenant Colonel Alfred Dreyfus
Officer of the Legion of Honour
9 October 1859 – 12 July 1935
