It seems like we are going to continue to hear about Marines and Soldiers being charged with crimes which are not crimes.
How could anyone even dream about inventing any charge against a US Soldier or Marine that had to fight in the first or second (and obviously the real bloody one) battles of Fallujah.
Something tis not right. The enemies within. There is no other way to look at it.

Something tis not right. I agree, Marine Uncle. From Nathaniel Helm's article,

A senior Marine officer familiar with both the Fallujah allegations and the Marines under suspicion labeled the investigation a "fishing expedition." All of the Marines being questioned are decorated warriors who have been repeatedly identified as among the finest infantrymen in this country.

The senior Marine officer opined that NCIS is more interested in discrediting potential witnesses for the defense in the Haditha case than determining if multiple murders were committed by 3rd Platoon Marines at Fallujah. The Haditha case is receiving international attention as well as a focal point in the Pentagon’s latest campaign to get American warriors to play by the “new” rules. No doubt the Fallujah allegations will ignite more of the same reaction. The Iraqis who instigated both fights intended it to be that way.

“There is no crime scene, no victims, no bodies, and no witnesses except the unsubstantiated allegations of one and possibly two Marines. Until they told NCIS there wasn't even a report of a crime," the officer said. “Who does this serve?”


That's a question that I would like answered, "Who does this serve?"
