Excellent, I have the “Sailors to the End” book on paperback. It is one of the most comprehensive readable accounts of the Forrestal fire.
I will check out the “Trial By Fire”...any person who spent time at sea will likely find the damage control accounts interesting and informative, since we usually know what goes on as they describe it...:)
Thank you!
Yes.
Lt. Clint Lorance is serving a twenty-year sentence for opening fire on suspected Taliban scouts when they ran his check point. Lorance is one of the Leavenworth 10, referring to a fluctuating number of U.S. servicemen serving time while known terrorists are released from GITMO.
Bradley Manning gets a pardon. Bowe Bergdahl walks on a dishonorable discharge.
Clint Lorence remains in jail. Got it!
