It’s getting to the point where a man has to have an unhealthy amount of martyr complex in him to serve in this nation’s military.

We won’t fight for our warfighters. There’s no real reason they should continue fighting for us.

Can’t wait to get the rest of the information on just how badly Evan has been treated from the start. CID crapped on his rights from the start. I vote we revoke their citizenship and let them stay in Iraq.

pushing to expand rules of engagement to produce more "kills" and then abandoning them when they were accused of murder.

Pretty typical. Boss tells you to push the envelope, he'll cover you if anything comes down, then leaves you to crash and burn when management finds out. Dude isn't going to get his general's star if he gets in trouble for something like this, let the worker bee take the rap.

Hey kids, your safest bet to serve your country and not be brought up on charges is to join the Air Force or Coast Guard.

Interesting article. Fills in a few of the blanks of this case.

"Anything that was done to that insurgent was done to refrain him from making noise," Hensley said. "We were in an area where we could not get resupplied. There was only five of us out there with sniper weapons. We couldn't rapidly shoot at anything. . . . For all those reasons, this guy was killed out of self-defense."

Do you know what Hensley is doing now?
