Irrespective of the result of this case, our solders and Marines are thinking twice before pulling the trigger in Iraq and Afghanistan. And that's going to mean more American dead.
It is a d@mned shame that did not happen.

Just a little more on the Nazario case, to point out that this
“fifth column” of conviction hungry people can march forward and reverse, (which is an amazing feat with their heads up their Murthas)
And I’m sure our soldiers and Marines should be thinking of pulling the trigger twice, once at the enemy to the front and once at the enemy to the rear.
Not sure it establishes legality since the two guys had been investigated by the Army's police, the CID, and were cleared. Gen Kearney wanted to court martial them anyway and Kearney's boss put a stop to it by dismissing charges.

This tying the hands of our troops, second guessing their actions in the field, and bringing charges to our guys for killing possible insurgents IN A WAR is just unconscionable.
If this doesn't stop, we can't win, and if we don't finish this, we are toast. Because, if we can't win a war over there with all the troops and heavy artillery, we sure as shootin' aren't going to win here with all our politicos wringing their hands, wetting their pants, and begging to sing kum bay ya when the enemy comes here to engage. And they will.
I think I need to go to bed before I get my adrenaline going again....
