This thread is intended to be the main discussion thread during the hearing. This will help keep the facts in one place for easy reference.
Thanks for the thread. This Article 32 hearing is of the utmost importance and will probably set the tone for the other Article 32’s. Please pray that this will be a fair and unbiased hearing. God Bless Our Marines.
Great idea, Red. Got it bookmarked.
Am happy to see Lt Col Pigott has been removed from the hearing and replaced by Major McCann. Hopefully he will be capable of running a fair and unbiased hearing. Pigott seemed at a disadvantage when it comes to fair and unbiased.
Prayers going up for all eight. May all charges be immediately dropped, and each Marine well compensated for this miscarriage of justice; and may they soon be home with their families. I hope their attorneys can take Jack Murtha, and anyone else responsible for this travesty successfully to court.
This guy had no business being in combat anyway. He is a JAG type. This was just a screw up waiting to happen. Next time ensure that the officer in charge is Infantry. They are trained for that. Whoever put this guy in combat should be charged as well. No wonder things went wrong.

I can hear the fat lady clearing her throat...
She will sing and these Article 32 hearings will lead to OFFICIALLY clearing these Marines of all serious charges.
To do otherwise is unthinkable..
THEN - an investigation of Murtha will commence.....
