Exactly, smooth. At first, I was only following the Haditha Marine travesty, but this has turned into a bigger story for me.
All of these Marine prosecutions involve the same investigative agency, Murtha's Police, I mean the NCIS. And all are being railroaded down the same track.
If a man has earned the honor of being a Marine, if a man serves on foreign battlefields for his country, then by God, he deserves far, far better than this.
Who does LT GEN Mattis answer to?
The NCIS and the JAG corps deserve more respect than that too.
I don't know what you know about JAGs. It is one of the toughest legal jobs to get. I can tell you that none of the JAGs I have ever interacted with seek to screw servicemen. Their job is to make sure that the UCMJ is followed - and soldiers and sailors who break the UCMJ deserve no respect.
