This is just another prosecutor using the "carrying a gun" trick to add onto the sentence. The most recent successful use of that trick was in the Compeon and Ramos case where Sutton dredged up that device to stick these guys in prison for what was, at most, administrative sloppiness.

The deal is that soldiers carry weapons at the demand of their superior officers. If you can charge the troops, you can certainly charge the superiors, and do that all the way up the line to the Commander in Chief.

The defense should demand that all those who directed this individual to carry an arm to also be indicted and hauled before the court.

Give that juge about 10 seconds to toss the case.

The members of the grandjury should check into their nearest mental health facility for a checkup, and the prosecutor should be relieved of duty immediately.

Makes sense to me. He was kinda ordered to carry a gun during the battle of Fallujah. That’s a typical lawful order for any Marine in battle. So charging him for actually following lawful orders makes no sense.
