#1 SEALS committing treasonous offences, I think NOT.

#2 the treasonous offences are being made by the accusers

#4 While I am not up on Courts Marshall procedures, I believe the accusers will have to confront the accused. Should be interesting.

#5 lawyer, write it down. I will bet the balance of my retirement that a lawyer is behind this. Someone with an axe to grind or a chip on his/her/it's shoulder.

#7 There's a story making the rounds that Obama is sending a "message" to the SEALS as payback for violating his rules of engagement when rescuing the captain of the Maersk Alabama this past April. Take it with a grain of salt.

#8 Of course, next time the SEALs capture a high value target, unfortunately, the HVT will probably be killed while trying to escape. Or he will have a hidden weapon on him, and the SEALs will have to shoot him in self defense. Before they get back to base.

#9 I think the Seals did the right thing. Captain's Mast only requires a perponderance of evidence to find you guilty - 51%, because the penalty level is much lower than what can be received in Court Marshal. It is imminently possible that politics throughout the chain of command can influence the result of a Captain's Mass. A Court Marhsal will decided on evidence. If you are innocent, you should choose court marshal to prevent some careerist from throwing you under the bus to protect his future promotability.
