If they'd just gone with the testimony of the troops at Haditha, instead of going with reporters, lawyers, politicians and politicized generals, Haditha would have been dropped.
The local units did their own investigation and found the Haditha combatants not just innocent but worthy of praise.
Guess who turned out to be right? The troops on the ground.
Cruz is a lawyer, and he's supplied a totally disconnected lawyer's answer.
He supplied a feminist pandering answer, whether that was his intent or not. He has my 100% support, but what he said here doesn’t make a lot of sense. I hope he means he would turn it over to a prosecuter once there is evidence. The false rape witch hunts are the biggest issue concerning America with regards to rape.
Exactly. Those who have served know an officer is appointed to actually interview/investigate the matter. Yes, I was an article 32 officer in late 69 as we had an SF SFC drop his death from about 100 feet during rappelling training from a chopper at Bragg. I am fairly sure the doughnut ring was not rigged right, but; I could not prove anything. I just forwarded facts. The military justice system whether it is drugs or murder is as good as civilian.
Agreed, and ignoring the despicable John Murtha would have been a good start.
