Biography

Marc Hall was an Iraq veteran and Army specialist who protested the military’s stop-loss policy through a rap song. He challenged his detention and sought conscientious-objector status while his supporters organized a legal defense.

Release review October 13, 2026: An IVAW statement reproduced April 21, 2010 includes Hall's direct confirmation by telephone from Kuwait that he was out of confinement. This supports the existing April 2010 month-precision release, not an exact April 17 release. The former sentence note conflated the discharge decision with physical departure and has been corrected. The unsupported exact 110-day total has been cleared. Courage to Resist's March 4 account gives December 12 initial detention; other contemporary accounts give December 11. That one-day conflict remains flagged rather than silently resolved.

Case

Charges: Communicating threats — Article 134, Uniform Code of Military Justice; allegations disputed
Arrested: Dec 12, 2009
Incarcerated: Dec 12, 2009
Released: April 2010
Sentence: Pretrial confinement, initially in Georgia county custody and later at Camp Arifjan, Kuwait. The April 17 discharge decision did not by itself establish physical release that day. An IVAW statement reproduced April 21, 2010 reports release and includes Hall's own confirmation that he was out of the confinement facility. Release is retained at April 2010 month precision; its exact day is unresolved. No conviction or completed prison sentence is asserted. Initial detention reports conflict between December 11 and 12, 2009; the existing December 12 dates are retained pending stronger reconciliation, not presented as a new audit confirmation.
