Agreed. One really doesn't have anything to do with the other. Even assuming Bales maliciously stole this guy's money, that doesn't lead to potential mass murder after 10 years of outstanding military service.
OK, so the total amount is in the neighborhood of $1.5 million, so now we know.
Depending on when in 2003 the arbitration was, Bales may have been in Iraq on his first deployment.
Agreed, FSE. It’s the press that’s helping this story along. Wish the lawyer would deal with this - could go a long way to minimizing its impact.
