Thanks for all the posts, guys. Haven't responded because it is so sad to see this fight reduced to this kind of punishment/finding.
SSgt Wuterich and his family made a decision to get on with their lives after having fought a six year battle against all odds. They deserve so many thanks that they did not fold until it was SSgt Wuterich standing alone.
I wish Frank had held out, but they had to deal with the uncertainty that a decision from these panelists may have held, not me.
SSgt Wuterich will always be that. A private...no. A military judge can do what he wants in this situation. But he will join the others who failed to stand up when they had a chance. Gen. Mattis? You know what you did to SSgt Wuterich. Col. Ewers? ditto. Sean Sullivan....please. Nick Gannon...maybe you thought you finally bagged a Haditha Marine. Look at yourself in the mirror tomorrow, the next day.....keep going. What did you get?
This is where we are today.
