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.
Pantano didn't kill terrorists, he killed two POWs.
