Ms Heard,

We in the USA believe in and live by, innocent until proven guilty. The trial is not performed in the news, it is performed in a courtroom. Evidence is presented on both sides of a story and a determination of what occurred will be decided.

As a person who served in the military, I served with some of the finest men and women in the USA. The US military personnel are willing to put their life on the line to save people they don't know but only know that they have a job to do and they perform it to the best of their ability and with honor, pride, and with fearsome actions when needed. English history would be Nazi history now, if not for the US fighting men and women.

Right now, the evidence is being collected and the trial has not taken place.

I believe that you will be "eating crow" once this event is over, and I look forward to your apology and retraction.

If you look at the stories over the last 4 years, there have been many times where a US serviceman has been accused of doing some wrong. There have been a majority of the times where the US serviceman have been exonerated after the facts have been tried and put on trial. There have been much fewer times where the US serviceman has been convicted of a crime once the evidence is examined.

There have also been a lot of times where the terrorist have staged events and made a lot of wild claims. The US soldier have been crucified in the press till the investigation is completed and the truth has come out that the place/time was close but not right and the event was staged and the MSM was used and the American fighting man was exonerated. Once the US serviceman has been found innocent, we hear nothing from the MSM to say they were wrong and why they were wrong. Evidence, facts, are what trials are made of, not your presumption of guilt because of a few people in a town occupied by terrorist make a few claims.

I'm ashamed that Ms. Heard thinks she's British. It's the basis of our system as well that one is innocent until proven guilty.

Secondly, we used to understand what was required to wage war, and it wasn't allowing the likes of Murtha to give aid and comfort to the enemy.

Yes, Ms. Heard, the insurgents are the enemy. Let's be clear, you as a feminist and a leftist would find yourself trapped at home wearing a burqua should the Islamists succeed. Speak out of turn, and like women in Afghanistan, you could expect to have your painted fingernails ripped out or shot in the head. We are trying to stop them from influencing the world. You are not helping. Therefore, go to hell.

Regards, Ivan
