This is good news? No?
I will reserve my celebration and continue prayers for these brave Marines. What a debt we need to repay.

Great news, yes!
General Mattis has the final say but I can’t imagine why he’s want to go to a court martial on a case that would clearly be lost from the start.
Not only would his decision to end this NOW put LCpl. Justin Sharratt out of his misery, but it would spare his parents the punishment of further legal fees.
Lt. Col. Paul Ware, who will recommend whether to send Sharratt to trial, challenged the prosecution, saying the government's theory of the case does not warrant the three counts of unpremeditated murder filed against Sharratt in December.
"The account you want me to believe does not support unpremeditated murder," Ware told the lead prosecutor, Maj. Daren Erickson. "Your theories don't match the reason you say we should go to trial."
IOW, The IO just called BS on the whole thing. It's done. Baked. Fini. History. Outta gas.
This is GOOD NEWS
