Excellent piece.

I feel one of the striking impressions of the Haditha case is the lack of leadership demonstrated by the Marine General Officers. One of the principles of leadership is to know your Marines and it is apparent that the generals didn’t know Lt Grayson.

For the Haditha generals to not know their Marines is an unforgivable sin and for this reason I believe they deserve their current embarrassment.

He is correct about the last two cases being the main event and the most difficult. Fix bayonets and shout HUZZAHHHH! (I like that :-)).

LtCol Chessani and his wife attended the Lt Grayson trial. Courtroom observers said the weight was visible on both of them—but especially Mrs Chessani.

Guess the trial won’t commence until the last week of July. Prayers up that they can endure the stress.
