#4 Do you really think that the vast PC left which lost the national election at the Executive and Legislative level has the ability to stop what most everyone knows our redlands representatives in Congress will do if the Corps tries to serve this Marine up as a PC sacrifice?

#7 Let's leave this to the Corps. I have complete confidence that they can determine what happened and what should happen without our advice.

#10 Thanks for the link, GK. No disrespect to Mrs. Davis, but I don't believe this should be left to the Corps because they are facing a lot of political pressure and are just as subsceptible to it as any well-intentioned people. Hopefully this petition will balance out the political pressure and persuade the military to put justice for this individual soldier above the global PR battle. We need to look out for our own. If the rest of the world thinks that our soldiers should put their own lives at risk out of compassion for the terrorists, well, that's their problem.

#11 GBW, are we talking about the same Marine Corps that has boot camp segregated by sex being unable to resist political pressure? When someone indicates somebody outside the Corps is doing something to interfere then we should let them have it.

#15 Just signed. I liked another signer's comment: If they wanted fair treatment, then they needed to abide by the same considerations they expect to receive. In other words "As ye sow shall ye reap". Its as simple as that.
