#1 how are our soldiers supposed too do their jobs when they may be brought up on charges at any time for anything. Hell if someone would have just tried too blow me up i would have shot up everyone i didn't know for longer than 10 miles or until i was out of ammo. This ROE bullshit has gone on long enough shut the hell up and let our guys do their jobs the right way and maybe more of them will make it home unharmed.

#5 Redneck Jim - for something like this, you'd have at LEAST a panel of three officers, and an option for a jury of six, nine, or twelve, depending upon the crime you'd be tried for. Only low-level crimes are handled by a single officer.

#6 Thanks OP, I never got in trouble in the Navy, but others did and they talked, I didn't realise there was a difference in the severity. Only heard about the "Single Officer" type of trial. Never any other.
