Wrong Bender,

In a time of war against terrorists, and in a sustained, on-going, highly stressful, combat environment, this incident does not merit any type of prosecution. By prosecuting a young Marine over a dubious incident will do more harm than good. It will give the enemy 'aid and comfort,' which will lead to more Americans dying in combat. The military better give this Marine the benefit of the doubt or face a more embolden enemy, and demoralize our forces by over the top scrutiny.

Since the enemy on many occasions have faked surrender and other under handed tactics, the United States military has the right not to give any quarters to the enemy, a tactic that I wish we would use more often.

We will see if the U.S. makes the right call in this case.

This Marine is NOT being prosecuted. They are conducting an Article 31 investigation. After that investigation, the Commanding Officer will decide if prosecution is called for.
