I believe the leaks are psy-ops. The Marines are all young men and the pressure of public opinion will tell on them and their families and friends. But I don't think it will work.

I don't believe the prosecution case is terribly strong. Wuterich, Tatum, and Sharratt all have first-class lawyers (wish the same could be for Dela Cruz). I can't imagine they'd recommend a plea deal at this stage.

I believe the accused can, and will, beat the charges.

The crucial question is whether the accused can continue to afford their first-class lawyers. That's why I've donated money to their defense fund.

If convicted, I still can't see a presidential pardon unless the political landscape changes radically. The Iraqi leadership is part of the picture in this case. The South Vietnamese government wasn't a factor during the legal wrangling over My Lai.

"I believe the leaks are psy-ops"

You are making it difficult for me to continue respecting your arguments when you drift off into fantasyland like this.
