SSgt Wuterich Ping!
.
Is there a ping-list for this Haditha Marine? If so, please add me to it, Jazusamo.
Welcome to the Haditha Marine ping list, bajabaja, you’re on.
You’re on! Welcome aboard!
I’d like to be added to your ping list also. Thanks
You bet, amom, welcome! You’re on.
You’re on, amom! Welcome Aboard! :)
Thanks to all y’all. 8D
This is very encouraging. Great post. It’s almost as if the prosecution wants to help Wuterich.
Also, for what it’s worth, I talked to a Marine combat veteran today who told me that at his School of Infantry training in Fall of 2007, Marines were trained to clear a hostile house by always throwing a grenade into each room before entering. This was standard training. Very shortly thereafter in late 2007, upon joining the Fleet, infantry Marines were told to stop using grenades when clearing rooms and identify targets before engaging. Can you imagine? Just peek around the corner, I guess, and see if there are any insurgents with AKs waiting to blow your head off.
Absolutely insane. The people responsible for changing the ROE are criminals in my book.
Thanks, Lancey. It’s a shame those that write the ROE don’t have to be the ones peeking around the corner before they get their cushy job, it might change the way we fight wars now.
Thanks for the update smoothsailing Praying for a quick end to this stupid trial.
Fearless under fire! God bless our Marines and bring this farce of a trial to the correct conclusion.
I hope that the panel walks out of the deliberation room with a not guilty verdict five minutes after they walk in for deliberations.
whoa...how could they withhold the SSgt’s CAR ?
Weird. They hadn’t watched the video before they played it?
Good for SSgt.
Please add me to the Haditha Marines ping list.

SSgt. Wuterich should be restored to full duty, his record cleared, and any awards or promotions he should have gotten, before this travesty of “justice” was visited on him, awarded. Who is paying for his defense? He must be nearly bankrupt by now. Perhaps a SSgt. Wuterich fund raiser is needed?
