Well, that’s their story and they’re sticking with it. (Gov’t that is)
I also worry about the judge involved in a thing like this. Is he a Dem appointee upset the war even took place? Does he understand combat dynamics?
There’s a whole lot of wiggle room here, and it basically boils down to which translation you’re willing to buy off on.
If a guy is putting himself in harms way for our nation, he’s going to get the benefit of the doubt from me. If proven to be a bad apple, I’m going to be aggressively against him too. I just want some rationality behind it either way.
The first judge that dismissed the indictment was a Dem appointee. Then he was overruled by the appeals court and everything restarted.
Not sure about the current judge.
