You know that cartoon seems correct except with the way things are going now, the one holding the gun should be the one who gets his rights read to him.

Sadly, true. When I first read this post, I thought it was a joke, a mistake, something has to be off with the report. If I were a judge hearing this case, the first and last words uttered from my mouth would be, The charges are dismissed, case closed!

Then I would start seriously thinking about charging the prosecution with contempt of court, and make it stick. There is no way in Hell, that we can support our fighting forces this way; if we continue down this path, we will essentially kill our fighting force. Because, who in their right mind would dare to perform the expected duties as a soldier, if they are going to have to second guess every action they make.

I am reminded of the case against Colonel Terry Childers, in the movie Rules of Engagement, and have to think that our CIC could intervene and fix this, but, methinks that this is his doing, in the first place.
