There’s more to the Sgt. Bales case, but his lawyer can’t get to the facts –why?

Why can't our government EVER act like stand up people?

POTUS is a Fast & Furious guy who secretly dealt the most dangerous kinds of weapons to DRUG DEALERS —he’s very comfortable with breaking the law.

He’d do ANYTHING that helped him.

Set up an attack on a village? Oh sure, he WOULD do that, yes he would.

A civilian lawyer in a military trial is a very bad idea.

Didn't any of these people ever watch JAG?

For serious crimes its always a civilian lawyer who specializes in these cases.

I’d bet that the targets weren’t random ,, my guess is that they (including the kids) were supplying intel to snipers/bombers regarding movement in and out of the camp.

You could be right, but I’m not sure that two and three year old girls could provide reliable intel to the snipers and bombers.

I’m no expert but have seen several general court martials. The accused always had a civilian lawyer. It was always someone who specialized in military law.

I just wonder, who will go to trial first, Major Hasan who murdered 13 innocent Americans in cold blood on November 5, 2009 or SSGT Bales, my money is on Bales. Sad, but Hasan should have already been tried and convicted and put to death.

I don’t know anything. I was just trying to make a silly joke. No offense intended.

There is something they are trying to hide.

My bet is the charges will be dropped rather than have that something exposed.

I was in the Navy for 23 years. I like this Sgt Bales. He’s not a bad kid. I agree with him on everything. Unfortunately, the military has rules about NOT being political. They tell The kids in boot camp, here are the rules. It’s not a democracy. Its a shame but a military member is not supposed to demonstrate. Maybe it seems harsh but he’s there to obey the orders of his superiors. I like the kid but I think he will lose his case.

Hasan is a Muslim who murdered infidels while screaming “Allahu Akbar!!” He’ll die in prison of old age like Khalid Sheikh Muhammad who did exactly the same thing. Besides, Hasan’s court-martial would open up a huge can of worms on his entire chain of command, most of whom are still on active duty. Nothing to see here, folks.

Sgt Bales is an infidel who murdered Muslims. He’s on the fast track to death row. No comparison.

When they tried to through my late wife out of the Air Force for being a Lesbian, (we were not married yet), I helped her hire a civilian lawyer, and they dropped the case like a hot potato.

A long story, but the charges were based of sworn statements of a discharged nurse, who had a brain tumor.

It sounds odd to me that the military's "investigation" is still "ongoing," but that apparently didn't keep them from formally charging Bales.

For that matter, does anyone even have a link to a formal listing of the charges against him?

If govt won’t comply with defense’s discovery requests, defense wins. Judges hate it when people act like stone walls during discovery
