Perhaps to be fair, we should have the judge, jury, and all officers of the court have a reasonable understanding of the conditions. Much like a jury who visits the scene of an alledged crime, they can all grab a rifle and walk down a street in Haditha for a day or two...
you are exactly right.... if just one of these assh#les would drive to and from a FOA and have his friend and brother blown to goo in front of him... then later that week see a bunch of hajis setting up some wire and boxes by the side of the road with a dad and kid walking around with cell phones as lookouts... then the next night another friend gets waxed...
or maybe he just knows that the enemy is in a house and shooting his friends but has shields of people in front of him or under him...
runs a car towards him filled with women and children... what to do?
die or go to Leavenworth for some R&R...
JAG and the future senatorial and congressional democrat candidates in the Marines, Navy and Army need to pull point or get the f#ck out of the way.
Franken Monkey that is one of the best ideas I have heard yet. Hopefully the attorneys will have some videos from the "restive town" of Haditha during prior "civilian" activities (i.e. IED planting) to present to the judge.
