I agree with everything except for the Brig
The one hour is like the time I tipped a really incompetent waiter - one cent. It's an intentional insult to anyone who thought that a crime occurred here.
Though I will grant, with the leftist media, the headline would be "Marine guilty in Court Martial of murdering unarmed wounded insurgent prisoner - sentenced to Brig".
Yeah - you're right. Skip the brig.
Do not give the left one inch ... not one lousy inch.
I retract my earlier proposal. Rather, the Marine Commandant should hold a well publicized news conference to respond to the charges and announce how it will be investigated.
He should stand before the microphones, wait patiently for silence, sneer the single word "nuts", and walk off.
