Way sad. These guys were probably going after some bad guys being harbored by the civilians, and they began flipping the marines some garbage about their mission - or a weapon came out.
The officer is exonerated - probably related to Kerry.
Semper Fi Boys, give 'em hell!
Way sad. You know the libs are loving this, and the MSM is not going to give them a break.

This just chops the foundation out from under our country's military.
Our enemies couldn't overcome our superior military forces so they have attacked our servicemen instead and are getting cooperation from greedy "American?" lawyers and judges.
They are winning the propaganda war. Get smart, America!

And how many Marines and soldiers will hesitate in a dangerous situation because of the threat of being criminally charged later. Our troops need to be able to do their job and protect themselves and each other. This makes me so mad!

Thanks for the ping. Don't feel obligated to respond this late in the thread. I'll just add what probably has already been noted a few times.
They followed their ROE within the SASO. Clear the building/house/dwelling first, upon being fired at, then relay after action reports.
How can they be expected to play mister nice guy and knock on a door to ask if any insurgents are inside when they are being fired at.
These charges cannot hold ground. And they are only charges at this point. Most probably political to appease some Arabs.

Anniversary ping.
Eight Marines were charged one year ago today.
Four have been cleared. Two will be court martialed. Two await word of their fate.
Directly and indirectly, we've helped raised tens of thousands of dollars for the defense funds.
We've made Free Republic and DefendOurMarines.com rallying points for the Marines and their families.
We've spread the truth about Haditha despite overwhelming odds.
Not bad at all.
Thanks to everyone for their work and support. A year from now, when all of the eight are free, we'll have reason to look back on this with tremendous pride. We stood up and we made a difference.
Merry Christmas to all!
