No...I may disagree with sink...but, he is nothing like Murtha..
Murtha is trying to win an election off this "scandal"..
sink isn't trying to "win" anything...if anything, he is being pretty beaten up.
I gotta hand it to you, sinkspur...you pick a position and don't back down.
I think if this was one or maybe two Marines...I might be more likely to wonder...but, a whole "bunch" of Marines "snapping" at once...or in your scenario "calculating" at once...to massacre innocent women and children while they are on the floor begging for their lives...
No...it just doesn't compute with me..
The story is 3-4 Marines are going to be accused of whatever happened and 7 or so others for covering it up or not stopping it from happening.
Of course, everyting could change when the investigations are done. But I have a feeling we know a lot now and the DoD is letting us know now because the reports will be pretty bad when released.
