Regarding Murtha, LCpl Tatum is NOT being court martialed for murder. We'll have to wait for next week to see what Mattis will do with the Wuterich case.
I am basing this guess off of another case, but is it going to be another 10 months before it goes to court?
Do they get to remain at home?
Well, the press release for Tatum from the Marine Corps say “involuntary manslaughter, reckless endangerment and aggravated assault” ...against whom? The original Iraqis he was charged with? This is not very specific. Involuntary manslaughter is not murder, but goes beyond negligent homicide recommended for SSGT Frank Wuterich. Hmmmmm.
