That’d be it!
Yes, this is a good idea. hopefully the graphic will reduce to three Marines soon.. eh?
Yes, indeed. Seems certain that SSgt Wuterich’s case will go to trial. But the Lt Grayson case is so stupid that I can’t imagine it will get past the Article 32 stage.
We are thinking alike.
Do you have a rough estimate of cost of the prosecution?
That looks fine, everyone. So I’m assuming Dela Cruz’s subtitle has changed a few times, and the decision is to keep all 8 together? Fine by me.
They actually are two separate pictures. They just don’t look it. What were you thinking? A line between them?
Hmm I did not realize him getting the 4th star would mean he handed over his roll as the convening authority.
I had assumed that was a duty given to an individual (take the IO as an example) and not a to a position.
Hmm need to rethink this then.
“...the government reportedly spent $43 million investigating and prosecuting these Marines.”

What else could that money have purchased....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In June, IMG won a contract for $8.4 million to build 16 mine-resistant ambush protected vehicles (MRAPs) to be used by the Marine Corps and other joint forces in Iraq and Afghanistan.

or any of these DOD contracts

One of the many reasons I am glad our Marine son has returned from Iraq is that he will not have to face this kind of BS.
Bless you Ma for pointing that out.
While I am worried that this case will go before a court martial, at least so far it has been reasonably fair, considering the amount of questionable evidence used against these Marines.
And that $43 million was just for the investigation up to the Article 32. That number will climb through the Article 32s and court martials.
Well, well, well...look what I just found. The SOBs get a court martial, and lookie here! Reuters is going for a Haditha redux. Check out the slideshow-it’s a good thing we’re near Halloween, this is hauntingly familiar:

Lardass Murtha must have called in some markers. The whole thing stinks of set-up.
Tensions also rose in northern Iraq after separatist Kurdish rebels ambushed a military unit near Turkey's border with Iraq, killing at least 12 soldiers. Turkey's government has threatened to take action against the rebels based in northern Iraq if the U.S.-led coalition in Iraq does not stop the Kurdish attacks on Turkish forces.
Isn't nice how the AP can work in a n entirely seperate incident and make it seem like it is our fault or our troops were attacked.
I’ve heard good things about the man who’ll be the new Convening Authority, LtGen-nominee Helland. Some say he’s even more infantry-oriented than Gen Mattis (if such a thing is possible).

Looks good to me, that’ll be it then.
