I think we are in agreement on the shooting, read my post 27.
I was just dumbfounded that they could charge the guy. I saw the video , heard the carnage , new it was a hostile situation , and felt the Marine did nothing wrong.
But the fact that they considered charging the guy, at least they could let us know if the insurgent was dead when he was shot by that Marine. I still have not heard this was or was not confirmed.
I don't think it was anything more than a media handjob to begin with. The good news is that he got a couple weeks off line. The bad news is...well, it's back to work.
