NS, have you ever heard of evidence being stacked against you, intentionally?? Probably not. You have probably watched too Perry Mason programs, when the guilty cry out in the courtroom, IT WAS ME, I KILLED HIM!!!!!

So what you're saying is that the Marine Corps brass and the Defense Department leadership know without a doubt that these men are innocent but are out to convict them anyway? Either you really, really loath the military or else I'm not the moron here. You want to destroy the faith that the soldiers and marines have to have in their leadership. You want all of them thinking that they can't trust the brass. Destroy the trust between the officers and their men and what kind of military are you going to have?

Now if you still think justice will prevail, no matter what, I was right, you are a MORON. If this posts even puts a glimmer of doubt in my brain about this crappy situation facing these troops, maybe you're not such a moron.

No, but it's told me a lot about the armchair warriors we have around here who claim to support the military but who seem to be out to destroy it.

One, in response to your brilliant response, I never mentioned the Marine Corp brass or the Defense Department as out to get the "heroes" being thrown to the wolves. I mentioned the Clinton leftovers in the State Department are the ones no one can trust. When the MSM say they have an "unnamed source" in the White House or where ever, it's most probably someone in State leaking information to make Pres. Bush look bad or to screw up plans in the making. Pres. Bush doesn't need any help looking bad, he does that fine without anyone else's help.

Two, I may be an armchair warrior now, but for over a decade during the Jimmah Carter and (my hero) President Reagan's administration, I served this country faithfully and without question. Just like 99.9% of the troops in the military now. I did my part and if you're thinking like a lib (sKerry), I can criticize what I see and hear from the government because I served.

Not everyone served, could have served or wanted to serve like I and thousands of others have. But I refuse to hold that detail against them. Everyone has an opinion and everyone has the right to voice it. My biggest issue is about people who are just flat out whiners and complainers who never take the time to talk to or research what they are commented on. If I had my way, everyone in our great country, who vote, would have to at least take a little time reading the booklets we ALL get from the election boards, just to get a tiny thought about what they are voting on. Listen to talk radio, watch MSM and hear their slant on the points, talk with people they know about the issues. Not just go to the voting booth and vote straight line either party or closed their eyes and point and vote that way. Voting is a privilege and civic duty. People from foreign country under the thumb of such dictators like Castro, etc.... would love to vote. Look at the percentage of people in Iraq that voted for the first time in decades. They had to travel miles and miles to get to a voting booth and face intimidation from the terrorists, but they still voted.

Overall and finally, as I have strayed from my main points, military personnel are trained to kill, not be policemen or referees. They kill and destroy. They are trained to react without thinking. Thinking will get you killed in warfare. The MSM, libs, and our enemies want the troops to flinch or think twice, so they will die or get wounded and eventually lose. We, as people thousands of miles away, should not Monday morning quarterback their every action and reaction.
