"What needs to happen now is reduction in rank to about corporal for Keane, a dishonorable discharge and 1 to 5 years in the brig."
If you substitute "Pantano" for "Keane" you will have it right.
Just because there wasn't "credible evidence" doesn't mean Pantano didn't do it. But then again, OJ Simpson basically got off for the same reason.
Lt Pantano did exactly what his country sent him to Iraq to do...kill terrorists. I don't give a crap what he was thinking at the time as long as he hit the right guys. And, it is the height of absurdity for a handful of "shiny pants" military bureaucrats at camp Lejune to be trying to read his mind and persecuting him for doing the job he was sent to do.
As for you Mom of 2 Marines, you are head cheerleader for your local "fair play for islamofascist" committee and a f###ing phony.
