Thanks for posting this. Now, people will be able to read what actually happened that “horrible” day and hopefully understand.
Nat Helms and I have something up our sleeves to do a little more on that score. Hope to get it posted tomorrow. I think you'll like it a lot.
It's not from lack of trying. My neighbor actually asked me on the phone tonight how the Marine is that is on trial. You know I corrected her by saying it's not a trial, it was a hearing:) They may think I am crazy being on FR with my "invisible" friends....but nobody has said so. ( It's just a hunch.)
Sounds like Frank’s statement was calm, clear, and concise. Before reading this statement, I had never realized that Cpl. Salinas had also fired on the sedan’s occupants. It appears that three Marines from different angles/locations after the IED were sensing similar danger from the taxi. It’s quite odd how Cpl. Salinas is involved in all these instances, but is the only one either not charged or given immunity. Speaks loudly of prosecutorial shennanigans. Lt. Col. Ware is a smart, comman sense, IO. I think he’ll see through this.
