| #18 The REAL Piece-o-Shite in this is an (unnamed) Marine General who was feeding this stuff to Murtha, and who pushed down from above to charge and try these guys, especially the LtCol whose trial is upcoming. |

| #16 Not that I think Lt. Grayson was guilty, but if he were, the UCMJ has sentences for that sort of offense for a reason. |

| #15 fact of the matter is they were never going to be convicted for this and that's too bad. We don't kill innocent people and that's exactly what they did. They should not have to go to prison but they should be sent to the rear with the rest of the trigger-happy loons that make up the Marine Corps. Semper Fi my balls!!! So you believe that willfully killing innocents should be rewarded with a safe job at the rear while everyone else is still in risky combat? You know, it occurs to me that even if you're "right" you're still horribly horribly wrong. |

| #12 mr. truth hurts is welcome to repeat that observation with a sign on a stick at a corner of its choice. Ignorance will not be treated as innocent. |

| #10 At least 2 of the Marines Murtha accused are suing him. I hope the trial date is nearing. That should be interesting. |

| #9 Since, during, Viet Nam, the military has attempted to appease the hippies by throwing innocent fighting men off the cliff. Did it in Panama, Somalia, the famous sniper case in Afghanistan, and with Haditha. Note the help they had from Time Magazine. The NCIS withheld exculpatory evidence. Think that happened accidentally? The military never learns that you can't appease the hippies no matter how many innocent soldiers you screw over. It shows weakness, not compassion or justice. |

| #8 grom, actually as far as the Corps goes we've had a good history of the brass taking care of the lads - and contrary to popular belief we have a good history of forgiving subordinates who mess up when that mess up was done in good faith. In the age of technology we still believe that the strength of the Corps is the individual Marine and the strength of the Marine is the Corps. |

| #7 Suing Murtha into poverty works for me. I would prefer drawing and quartering for the traitor, but we will make due with making him eat dirt. |

| #3 Iraq locals would watch as terrorists set up deadly IEDs and positioned trigger men to set off the charges. Al-Jazeera produced numerous episodes of celebrating locals, after US troops moved out. In the Hadith case, personnel saw a fellow soldier blown in 2 pieces. Given local support, they proceeded to clear the area under hair-trigger commands. Self-defense and confrontation of terrorists were not on the mind. In fact, killing civilians would have put soldiers in danger of retaliation. If innocents died, then all the blame can be placed on al-Qaeda in Iraq, or other terror groups. |
