Lt. Gen. James Mattis -- YOU, Sir, need to initiate an investigation of both JAG and NCIS for their activities in both of these cases.
Went looking at the MSM, and found this. Thought it made some good points, and added more info to the background.
It is rather interesting to note that these weird and twisted prosecutions tend to focus on the USMC. I realize there are other bizarro type show trials held on other branch soldiers, but the greater bulk of them fall on Marines.
America is both fascinated by, and terrified of Marines.
Can anyone comment on why civilian, criminal investigation unit would be in charge of intelligence?
This deserves more study.
That doesn’t sound plausible. A civilian agency was in control of intelligence operations in the most dangerous province in Iraq? Doubt it.
The chicom command put the bulk of its effort into the attempt to destroy the “yellow legs” at beginning of their offensive. It was their belief that for so long as the Marines existed as a combat capable unit in Korea, the US could not be defeated.
Sometime during the mid to late ‘70s, it became official soviet military policy to not attempt to take Marines as POW if in a war. Any Marines captured were to be executed at point of capture.
I wonder who’s play book these prosecutions are coming from?
Thanks for the post. Though I must say I don’t get this whole “Deloitte connection” thing. Sounds a little like the moonbats talking about Diebolt stealing elections for Republicans.
The CIA itself is a quasi-civilian agency and much of their “work” is now distributed through the same contract system that leeched so much from our military capability by legislative order.
The Peace Dividend. Sacrifices had to be made to support an ever growing welfare system, doncha know. Gotta prioritize.
I still don’t get what is it that NCIS is supposed to have done in Anbar province, and how that connects to any of this.
Btw, I have no clue if anything in that article regarding the contract company is true fact or not. Most of my knee-jerkiness in my comments in this thread is simple disgust at how my fellow Marines are being treated by our gov. and the legal operatives within our service.
Roger that!
Unfortunately, there does seem to have been a big trend toward privatization of our intelligence and national security operations..

Up to 50%?? That's a scary thought...
I did find a link that seems to cover all of the military cases: Pittsburgh University's Jurist. It's loaded with left-wing moonbattery, but it's a start.
I guess the CIA would be considered “civilian” but ncis? BTW I’ve got to read Rowan Scarborough’s new book regarding traitors within.
Private companies now perform key intelligence-agency functions, to the tune, I'm told, of more than $42 billion a year. Intelligence professionals tell me that more than 50 percent of the National Clandestine Service (NCS) -- the heart, brains and soul of the CIA -- has been outsourced to private firms such as Abraxas, Booz Allen Hamilton, Lockheed Martin and Raytheon.
These firms recruit spies, create non-official cover identities and control the movements of CIA case officers. They also provide case officers and watch officers at crisis centers and regional desk officers who control clandestine operations worldwide. As the Los Angeles Times first reported last October, more than half the workforce in two key CIA stations in the fight against terrorism -- Baghdad and Islamabad, Pakistan -- is made up of industrial contractors, or "green badgers," in CIA parlance.
So that leads credence to the Deloitte connection and NCIS.
A currious person doesn’t have to dig too deep to find a number of incredible successes in hostile infiltration by our enemy in this war.
CAIR, legalized protection for wahabist jihadi preaching and recruitment in our prison systems (both state and federal), islamists prominently showcased as lecturers in universities, moles, both foreign infiltrators and US born language specialists uncovered in our intel and military translation services, etc etc.
If the historical perspective approach is taken, and the known link between the old soviet kgb and the islamist terror organizations is acknowledged, it would be safer to assume we’ve been penetrated and subverted in any number of applicable areas, rather than assuming that we’re secure.
