Typical military, when you need a scapegoat find a patsy that cannot fight back and everyone loves to hate. Such sanctimonious hypocrites.

I'll try very hard not to take that as a personal insult to the memory of my fourteen friends who've died in Iraq to date.

Take it any way it fits. The military has a long history of defending itself. Their "honor" is worth more than any individual.

Case in point, study Gen. Billy Mitchell. The military wanted his hide and they got it. A General no less. This PFC was just media bait for the military.

While you are fitting things, read what MacArthur had to say about the Mitchell affair. By the way, Mac was the only officer man enough to vote to acquit Mitchell. Maybe you can fit Lt. Calley into your program.
