| #11 But I also think the JAG got an unexpected answer from the SEALs: "NO Article 15" Cyber Sarge. Ditto! It was my experience that innocent men very, very rarely accept Article 15, Non-Judicial Punishment under the UCMJ. |

| #10 I wanted to add that Barry is doing this right. This is military justice and let the military conduct it. |

| #9 I think oldspook hit the nail on the head. But I also think the JAG got an unexpected answer from the SEALs: "NO Article 15" It wasn't smart for the SEAL to hit the guy in front of witnesses, but we don't know why. Lawyers are Lawyers in and out of uniform. |

| #8 Its the oldest military battle: REMFS (lawyers) versus Warriors. |

| #7 I forever remember the images of the Blackwater employees killed, burned, and hung on the Fallujah bridge. The mastermind of this was the guy they supposedly roughed up. Where's the outrage regarding this event? Outrage? Markos "Kos" Moulitsas infamously said "screw them" |

| #5 I forever remember the images of the Blackwater employees killed, burned, and hung on the Fallujah bridge. The mastermind of this was the guy they supposedly roughed up. Where's the outrage regarding this event? Personally, I think the guy should have been killed, burned, and hung on the Falluja bridge--except he doesn't deserve to be hung up there in the same place where these brave men were. The guy's a liar. AQ is taught to fake such injuries. FREE THEM ALL IMMEDIATELY! |

| #4 This has been going on for a number of wars. The brass wants to burn a few snuffies from time to time to mollify the New York Times and other true believers. Problem is, it doesn't mollify the NYT and other lefties, and the military is watching and the guys are drawing conclusions. Lose/lose. |

| #3 Why has this administration taken the word of terrorists and let American heroes twist in the wind? You really gotta ask? |

| #2 Why has this administration taken the word of terrorists and let American heroes twist in the wind? ....because we need proof that too many General Officers are just political animals who are not to be relied upon to uphold their oath [to the Constitution] when the time comes. Only some one in uniform can bring charges and the court martial against another member in uniform. Since the 'administration' is not composed of uniform members of the service, to bring this theater to this point, it shows the validity of the first point. |

| #1 Why has this administration taken the word of terrorists and let American heroes twist in the wind? Different reasons, I suspect. It probably started with some kind of turf war, and was allowed to continue by those who for some reason distrust America and their fellow Americans. |
