I hope that I’m not being too optimistic with my take on this. Lt. Col. Ware has been fair in the first two 32’s, he demonstrated his impartiality.

He actually recommended Wuterich be court-martialed for seven counts of negligent homicide but then comes back and says he doesn’t believe there is enough evidence to convict him of that.

He finally says he may be derilict in his duties but he didn’t recommend a court-martial for that.

That’s just my take and we’ll know soon. I’m praying that’s how it’ll work out.

I just went back into David's lists, and can find no specification charge of Dereliction from the prosecutors. The Specification 1, all for the murders, was judged as unfounded. Specification 2 was Soliciting Dela Cruz to make untrue statements, all negated by Dela Cruz's own testimony. Specification 3, making a false official statement. Nothing in Ware's report mentions that he believed that charge, in fact he did comment that he found Wunterich's testimony as matching the evidence more nearly than the prosecution's description. So again, I just wonder where this Dereliction came from.

Well, it's early on your side of the rock -- here it's beddy-bye time. :^) 'See' you tomorrow; take care.

I am with you, jaz. What’s more, Ware does not have the ‘luxury’ of being able to decide absolute bullshit.

Quite often, lost in and to the civilian world, is the first lesson learned at boot camp:

Marines don’t enjoy the freedoms they die to protect.

They can’t say what they want, when they want.
They can’t even refuse to say what they don’t want to say.
