This is not an unusual thing in a military unit. The telephone game creates things that never happened. It does it by speculation, retelling, additional speculation, more retelling, embellishing, etc. After a while an entire memory is created of something that was a telephone-game-fable....something that never happened.
Somewhere in the origin of the story, there's a kernal of truth.
There are no bodies, no names, no crime scene, and no evidence.
We have one man Nazario who has passed a polygraph about war crimes: McDermott said his client passed two polygraph tests before joining the police force and was specifically asked during those sessions whether he had violated the laws of warfare during his military service.
We have another who raised the original charges being held incommunicado by his lawyer. This one, if I recall correctly, rather than take the polygraph told this story of prisoners being executed, although he says he did not witness it.
I don't understand. I thought the charges were brought because someone applying for a job with the secret service took a polygraph where they admitted to an "unlawful" killing? Are you saying the accuser didn't take a polygraph but the accused did? The accused passed but the accuser was afraid he wouldn't?

Prayers up for this Marine.
An accuser that was not a witness.
Dismissed. I hope.
