"How can the people of the US have a sense that we are at war when we prosecute our finest."

We aren't prosecuting our finest, Lt Pantano's Article 32 hearing found there was no evidence proving he murdered 2 detainees. The Cpl in Falujia who shot the terrorist playing dead was cleared. Why? Because the investigations were done. No one is being railroaded.

Why did it take months to clear the Marine in Fallujah? Any combat vet, looking at the tape, would tell you what he did is just the way it is. These incidents should be handled at the battalion level. The charges are even absurd. Hitting a captured insurgent? Why is this even going on. We do worse to our own troops in SERE training.
You ever see the way cops react after a car chase? That's caused by the adrenaline that gets pumped up. Now magnify that 10x for being in combat.
