We shall see. I am making "friends" on this one elsewhere. Sometimes, when one calls them as one sees them, it gets a bit heated. What really annoys me, is that the guy did it with the cameras rolling. That is not a very smart move, either for him, or for our country's cause. In fact it annoys me a lot. I suspect the guy will be retired from service shortly. If exculpating facts come out, I will be delighted and relieved. I don't expect that to happen.
It would have annoyed me if he let the dead ender trigger an IED. They weren't in custody. If anybody is responsible for this guys death, it is the deadenders who booby trap bodies, blow themselves up and fire under the white flag.
Restraint should have been shown, not by this Marine but by the news media who slammed his name all over the Mideast.
