Like how? There has scarcely been a week since it happened and a threat of a court martial has not even been mentioned. Even al-Jazeera's take on it is pretty lame. Rumsfeld would certainly not stand for it. I would suggest waiting to get into a high dudgeon until events play out.
? An investigation is a threat of court martial. We are in the indictment phase.
They were clearing houses. The man was NOT secured. He was NOT responding to commands. He had not surrendered and had been cuaght in an act of deception-which had been associated with booby traps.
Had the marine not responded, several marines and the lame @ss reporter could have been killed by a grenade.
Until you have been through a few of those yourself, its tough to lecture this marine.
It is also in the AL-qaida manual to feign death and then blow yourself up just like a suicide bombers did during this battle.
We are crazy to not take alqaida doctrine into account when determining our tactics.
