It sure looks like the writing is on the wall. Our Marines will not have to go further then these hearings. The prosecution is falling apart. The prosecution has no solid evidence against any of them at this point by all indications.
If general Mattis has a good head on his shoulder he should put a stop to any further hearings. The whole sorid affair has at this point shown no wrong doing from the LCT down to the grunts who had to pull the triggers.
He can simply say nothing of honest use can be obtained by taking this beyond where it already has lead. Tainted and outright wrong information has been proven the Marines are innocent. Must each case go through the same hoops, if the over all facts show none of them operated outside their ROE.
I would add. The Pentagon and the DOD should make a point to tell the public these whole affair was based on pre-assumed information which turned out to be totally wrong, and make the point that yet again the L/MSM and certain members of congress had went out of their way to pre-judge these men, with scanty information at best and un-reliable info given by insurgents.
Yea. I know. They will just let it quietly go away.

It would certainly be nice if the general put a stop to the hearings but I doubt that’s going to happen.

The IO of Capt. Stone’s hearing recommended no charges and now this hearing looks good for LCpl Sharratt. No indication yet for the hearing just completed for LtCol Chessani.

I doubt the enemedia will have much to say about any of the Marines that charges are not filed against, like you say they’ll just let it quietly away. It’s really sad.
