Pelley's expected bleeding heart line of questioning aside, I'm glad I watched it. Wuterich's men had just witnessed one of their buddies blown to shreds. Maximum stress situation that many of us ordinary men couldn't take. Stress that would be blinding.

Perps had to be within eyesight of the road. They selected the dwellings that were the most likely source. What else could they do?

Wuterich had men who had been through this before. Roll a grenade, boom, enter the room, get shot.

How do you know what's behind the door? Guess right, you live. Guess wrong, you die. Guess right, innocents don't get killed. Guess wrong, innocents get killed. Grand Central Station going on in your mind. All while under maximum, blinding stress. Roll the grenade, boom, enter the room. Hope you did the right thing.

What in the hell else could they do?

It's easy to sit in your comfortable Lazy Boy in your comfortable life and sip Martinis and watch Anna Nicole stories when you're a bleeding heart.

That Pelley is a real piece of work drama queen pompous ass. He and cBS couldn't have slanted the questioning against him and the Marines much worse than they did. I'll never watch another show of his.

I think Frank did okay, it took a lot of guts for him to do that interview. I'm sure he knew much of what was coming. His attorney summed it up well in saying they did what they had to do and it was legal under the circumstances. JMO
