Would you ever consider calling Pantano?
Are you saying that Mattis would want a Marine to take one for the team so the Iraqis feel some sort of “payment” for civilian deaths? In return Mattis would go for the shortest jail time possible?
After this AM I am SHOCKED you would ask me a thinker’s question! :)
In any event, if this case is playing out as I believe it is, then SOMEONE is going to have to fall on a grenade before it's over. And if it's not the Haditha Marines, it's going to have to be Lt. Gen. Mattis.
