"But I do care deeply about those 18- and 19-year-old Lance Corporals out on the frontlines.”

It's a shame General Mattis sullied his own reputation so badly by allowing the Haditha prosecution to railroad a lot of heroic young Marines off the battlefield and out of the Corps for political purposes. He had a chance to stop it.

He sure did, what goes around comes around.

Can't believe it will be a whole year on Friday since Frank’s trial ended.

It’s unconscionable as to what they put those Haditha Marines through!

Completely agree with the both of you. Especially this:

I wonder how much of his soul that Mattis had to sell, because he sold some of it over Haditha.
