"I'm not saying I know anything more than what's on the tape, and what background information was provided with it."

Exactly. And as you are well aware, that isn't enough to pass judgement on anybody. Especially when the tape and background information are provided solely by the MSM.

To be totally honest, I'm letting past experiences color my opinion. I've seen people, both officer and enlisted, not get what I consider a fair shake because they were involved in something that played poorly to the media (often in other countries).

I have a hard time believing that this guy will escape punishment, knowing how loose the system works when the media is involved. I hope I'm wrong. I hope there's evidence that the Marine was justified within the ROE and the UCMJ in his actions, and I hope that someone looks at it.
