It’s an utter disgrace that these Marines’ integrity and bravery were impugned for ten years. Nicholson must be a steaming turd and should not be in command of combat forces.
Semper fi.
Exactly
The military sent out a press release announcing the Marines’ acquittal on the Friday before Memorial Day in 2008.
The muted response stood in contrast to major public condemnations from top military leaders in the aftermath of the March 2007 attack.
General John Nicholson, who now commands all American troops in Afghanistan, called the Marines “a stain on our honor” (he was a colonel at the time) and apologized to Afghan villagers killed in the attacks in a May 2007 press conference with reporters.
Nicholson did not respond to a request for comment about the exoneration or his past comments about the Marines.

Because he is a piece of shit.
Thank God.
Ping.
They were exonerated ten years ago. What was this all about? I suspect Jones needs some good press since he, a Republican, voted against the tax bill. He has been siding with the Dems quite a bit.
They were probably told in 2008 that the event would not affect their careers. I wonder how that panned out besides not ever getting their Raider patch they deserve.
“Extra tough Marine” — ok
“Extra elite Marine” — ok
“Special Forces Marine” — ?????
To complete the process, everyone involved in carrying out this persecution needs to be publicly shamed with their names, addresses and phone numbers published via public service announcemeents in their hometown papers.

Yes, General Nicholson is one of the Bush/Obama “perfumed princes” steeped in political correctness and SJW mission orthodoxy. He largely destroyed the lives of these honorable Marines but, by doing so, insured his continued promotions. A real piece of crap, IMHO.
I am experiencing a visceral reaction to this. How does this bucket of shit continue to be in charge of anything, except licking toilets clean?
OUTSTANDING!
Ten years of hell and shame. Outrageous is insufficient.
The tables should be turned against their accusers and convictors. Bastards all.
