It can also lead to lots of “typed up testimonies” lying around that “accidentally” get mixed up with the case file.

Very good points, both of you. Girl, you know I loooove your brain!

All ROE are subjective. A marine taking fire has a different perspective on the ROE than a JAG reading about it 3 years later. The marine taking fire has the right and the duty to fight back. Sadly, sometimes the innocent get killed. Somebody should tell the Colonel to take his paper card with the ROE on it and stick it where the sun don't shine. It's tough to get out the reading glasses when IED's and AK rounds are disturbing the peace.

Why is the MArine Corps intent on criminalizing mistakes in battle?

Those “typed up testimonies” are not only part of the case file, they were offered as evidence during the hearing today. They weren’t signed by Tatum. They could have said anything.

I’ve noticed more and more references to NCIS’ habit of not taping “interviews” in media reporting on these cases - And that the “interview reports” are questionable since there’s no proof. Also there have been instances where those statements have later been denied by the interviewee. NCIS is getting a reputation.
