More trial by media. If Lt. Kallop is charged, that will be a big surprise--judging by previous leaks and statements by other anonymous sources.

The Congressional briefing starts this morning. Let me or jazusamo know if you want to be on the Haditha Marines Ping List.

Ping!

Lt. Kallop is a New Yorker and I will contact his lawyer to see if anything can be done to show support.

If any Freepers can do likewise for the Marines in their neck of the woods, please let us all know. I'm hoping we can take some constructive action against the multitude of forces arrayed against these boys.

Please add me to the ping list. I have been tracking this, but I am sure I've missed some.

Thank you!!

Can't win a war like this. Prosecutions like this are why we have already lost. People die in war. They always have and always will. Whats next, prosecution of pilots who kill civilians? You can't drop a bomb on a city without knowing that, for a fact, civilians are going to be killed, so every commander who has ever ordered a bombing near civilians is guilty of premeditated murder.

We need to drum these m'fn a**hole JAGS and there ball-less enablers right out of the military. These filthy, dirty bastards don't deserve to polish the shoes of men like Sgt.Wuterich and Lt. Kallop, much less bring charges. This horsesh*t must end.

I predict this is the end of the US military as we know it.

The unintended consequences will be decades in the making...
And all bad.
I'm sure glad I don't have grandchildren!

I suggest that in lieu of no longer having a military (a reasonable expectation), that we immediately instigate college courses in urban guerilla warfare.

add me to your haditha ping list please...

i am outraged and appalled at this development. after all the research and reading i've done i will never believe this was a criminal act.

Ok, tinfoil hat time. With hat firmly affixed, it occurs to me that they have to manufacture some war crimes in order to charge (and prosecute with a kangaroo court) the President with war crimes. I'm sure that instead of sugar plums, visions of a televised execution is dancing through more than a few of these liberal heads (note--I did not say "minds"--they are obviously OUT of those) this Christmas. Yes, I do think they hate him THAT bad...whether they actually try something this grotesque, I can't say.

[jazusamo]

The media coverage of this incident with their info coming from unnamed sources is beyond pathetic.

If these Marines are prosecuted for killing people in residences they were taking fire from, it's beyond belief.

[freema]

I don't doubt for a minute that women and children were killed. There is such a big difference at the very core of American men vs jihadis. And looking at this: one must realize how deeply these Marines must now hate the jihadis. It makes Christmas all the more poignant. Most of the West is ready to celebrate the birth of a child. The jihadis celebrate the deaths of these women and children. Women and children are nothing more than a tool. A disposable, useless, cheap tool, at that.

[AmeriBrit]

This is just plain and simply insane. I'm so infuriated I can't think straight right now.

[sergeantdave]

This is bullcrap.

What kind of a##hole is pushing this?

If we're indicting Marines, soldiers, airmen and sailors for killing civilians, let's go back to WWII, Korea and Vietnam and indict a minimum 100,000 veterans.

This is sick. Our country is sick.

Quoting Captain Willard from the supposedly anti-war film "Apocalypse Now":

"..charging a man with murder in this place was like handing out speeding tickets in the Indy 500."
