We are all greatly relieved that the Board ruled LtCol Chessani was not guilty of misconduct and should not be demoted, However, I believe the overwhelming evidence supported a total and complete exoneration of LtCol Chessani.” I believe all of us here believe LtCol Chessani was completely exonerated.
Thanks for the post and ping, Gene.
HADITHA MARINE PING!

As soon as he was charged, his career was over. The only thing was the outcome of the various charges and whether he would be discharged, imprisoned, or would be forced to retire. He got the best he could out of a government witch-hunt. This really does not improve morale among the troops.

Well, probably as good as we’re gonna get with the old “Haditha” holdovers. Congrats, Lt. Col.

As you both indicate. It was such a small win. They leave this Marine hanging. Will he ever be able to rise in rank as he should have by all indications. Probably not. They ruined one hell of a good Marine.
