The bad part is, they may just agree to throw some 25-year old Spec 5 on the rack to appease the crowds, whether or not the Italians were trying to do a run-around with us, their supposed allies in this thing.

I have a little more faith in our military justice system than you appear to.

I sincerely hope that you're right. However, as a former enlisted man, I know for a cold, hard fact that if it's your word against an officer's, guess what? What size sledgehammer would you like? Unlike the Ski Lift fiasco in '99 where a hot shot pilot (an officer, naturally) got off after deliberatly flying his aircraft below the ridgeline to get a cool video of it (which he and his fellow officer conspired to destroy, and what the Italians are actually angry about) cutting the cable and sending a bunch of people plunging to their deaths, an enlisted man is going to be screw, blued and tattooed, and that's after being crucified. If you don't believe that, I would have to say that you weren't ever in the service. If you were, my apologies. Unless, of course, you were an officer. Wink.
