If every member of a Marine mission to “terminate” a specific individual KNOWN to be the enemy, was charged with “voluntary murder” -— Fort Leavenworth Detention Barracks would occupy much of the landscape in Kansas....
The positively identified IRREGULAR/ILLEGAL enemy who has participated in armed aggression against our forces in not entitled to “safe conduct” to a hotel simply because he has temporarily laid his weapon down to enjoy dinner with his family...
Every time the trigger is pulled, it is “voluntary murder”...
The NCIS and JAG Corps all stated in their investigation and trial that HIT LISTS did NOT exist.
I have posted copies of the Census reports, see link above.
The Census reports clearly named names and had photos of the personnel who were under suspicion by the battalion, with complete descriptions of the family, their address, occupation and suspected activities.
While BueLancer surely has some valid points, I am afraid he is just unfamiliar with this and other cases.
But did you notice his own statements on something? The Convictionrate?
85% or so were guilty please before trial? WHY?
Then, 50% of the remaining are found guilty??
85+7 = 92% conviction rate...any court in the US get that accurate??
