Exactly...IF true. Was Haditha true? Were the SEALs criminals? This has not been proven. And the Pentagon has targed our fighting men in error too many times over the past 18 months alone. I am sick of it.
So far all but one of the accused in the Haditha case has been exonerated. SSgt Frank Wuterich, the squad leader, has been waiting for his day in court for almost 5 years, during which the Marines recently forced his Military Lawyers to retire, while keeping the prosecution paid and qualified for a full pension.
The court date has been again postponed due to one of the prosecution team suffering an injury playing with his son.
Lt Colonel Chessani had his charges dismissed when the Court found he was a victim of Unlawful Command Influence by 4 star (3 at the time) General Mattis.
I could go on for awhile, but it's best to look up defendourmarines.com for the full stories.
The government hasn't been playing square for a very long time.
