You were crowing in 325 about how friends and family would know best. I have found otherwise. Instead finding that parents of school shooters go on about their straight-A student.
And friends of mass murders and workplace shooters talk about what great family men they were and how willing to help they were.
Bottom line, I was appalled when I heard about this. No American wants to think an American serviceman could or would do this. It should not have happened and did indeed put our soldiers in harm’s way.
It you want to cheer for this man, go ahead.
I realize there are two pictures of Bales ... good and bad and they cannot be separated. I would like to know what happened but know it will be a long time, if ever, that we know.
I would like to see justice done even if Bales spends a lifetime in jail or is exonerated.
What I don’t understand is blind faith in Bales and not being able to see his two sides and demonizing people who acknowledge his merit and demerits.
That is hilarious.
Obiwan is laughing my guts out.
So be it, I will leave you to your ruminations.
And that some "arbitrator" ruled against him.
And then have the gall to say NO AMERICAN WOULD ACT THIS WAY.

No worries there.
Get back to me after your fourth deployment.
