Outstanding news, Red. Praying that Lt. Gen. Helland accepts the recommendation.

GREAT NEWS!

Iraq is/was a war. Let's not prosecute our forces for prosecuting the war in a winnable way.

Hallelujah!

No way that that young man was guilty.

Also, this was supposed to be another hearing day for Nazario with the Fed Court, wasn’t it?

Without the truck having been searched, I’m not sure why WINNICK would be charged with dereliction.

I’d go for dereliction against the incompetents who allowed that truck to disappear.

I’ll bet Winnick could even beat a dereliction charge if it’s actually related to the sniper incident.

If it has to do with whether he was wearing the prescribed number of buttons on his shirt or had his ROE card in his pocket, then maybe they can get him on some piddly-as$ stuff like that.

Yes, there’s a motion hearing today for Sgt Nelson. Haven’t heard anything about it and am guessing it’s routine.

Word is that no one, maybe especially LtGen Helland, has any enthusiasm for this going forward. Prayers joining yours it’s the straight dope.
