#6  The 60's peaceniks who are now running DC, especially those in the White House, got their panties in a wad when the Seals killed the three Somalis holding a ship captain hostage several months ago. They've been gunning for our military ever since.

#5  Yes, this is part of the underlying problem. It's like Climategate, the echo chamber effect by pushing out opposing views.

#4  #3 Given the evident determination of military lawyers to stab the warfighters in the back at every opportunity, the fact that military mortuaries aren't clogged to overflowing with JAG pukes who got fragged in the field speaks volumes about the uncompromising self-discipline and professionalism exercised by real soldiers.

Oh, it's coming. And soon.

#1  For reasons inexplicable, prosecutors opted not to call upon Dr. MacDonell to testify in the case; therefore, he was never able to share with the court something new he had learned about the case — something vital that prosecutors had not shared with him.

If the prosecutors withheld said information from the defense, then it is grounds for both for a new trial and misconduct charges brought against the prosecutors.
