Armchair Marshal Murtha speaks
John Murtha, a US Congressman, and former Marine (now he's an expert) says that US Troops massacred Iraqi civilians in cold blood. Murtha now demands a very public trial of the men. If Murtha bothered to read his own Uniform Code of Military Justice, he'd know these men, if guilty fall under military law, not civilian. Now, sad as it may seem, the Iraqi courts cannot handle this.
Some of you liberals want A Few Good Men to be brought to life, and make sure another Marine gets grilled.
Differences:
Colonel Jessup in AFGM was a corrupt and vindictive officer. The Marines who were in Haditha, we don't know who they are or what they thought. Wait for the hearings or trial.
Another difference, Tom Cruise won't be prosecuting this, likely another Marine JAG or Naval Prosecutor may.
And another one, military justice is handled outside regular courts, and rarely publicized, minus My Lai, Abu Ghraib, and a few others. But, this being the day of instant news and online leaks, who knows.
Here's what is known,
The event happened in November 2005
Between 15-24 Iraqis were killed or died after the attack
and the officers in command may be charged or subpoenad.
Here's what is NOT known,
What went through the troops minds.
Were they bloodthirsty and vengeful for comrades slain a few days prior to Haditha?
Or were they frantic and committed a terrible mistake?
Or possibly, were there some terrorists using these people as human shield and they too died?
Wait for the trial.
Don't jump to conclusions just yet. That goes for you Murtha, Mr. Presumptuous. And to you President Bush for presuming their guilt and hanging them out to dry prematurely, some troop supporter.
Now, thankfully military justice handled Lt. Col. Allen West's trial fine, he was vindicated. Also, fellow Marine Lt. Illario Pantano was found not guilty. For those of you who forgot- West shot at but did not wound an Iraqi to get him to reveal locations of terrorists before they ambushed and killed more Americans. Pantano, shot and killed two Iraqis, who were going for weapons to kill more Marines.
To the Marines over there, and our troops, be careful.

Looneytunes, shut up. No one asks you to post here. What fits my view is not jumping to conclusions, like always do. F-ck off you.

Oh Kev, now you had to throw the "Walters is a Nazi POS" Card into play. Detached? Why not, these scum cheer for our deaths, they use their own unarmed civilians for shields, why should we not view them outside the human race? Here's a good rule of warfare, civilians GET THE FREAK OUT! Von Clausewitz was clear on this also. Stay in war, you risk death.

Mooney, there ya go pulling the "If you didn't serve, you don't speak," bullshit. Fuck off, what's your fuckin experience you dickless ass spelunker? You know what, not everyone has to be in the fucking military to fucking comment on your stupidity. Murtha was a Marine, yeah, Kerry was in the Navy and both of em are backstabber fuckwads like you! Yeah, I wanna lean on old Jack Murtha for supporting my friends serving overseas. I talk to a lot more Marines, who think Murtha, and your kind, are shit. You are the shit that no one wants to step on but you still must permiate the air. You must exist. You must fuck up all of existence. Right? And don't lecture on being a Christian, you're an atheist and your views on religion hold less water than Ted Kennedy being a Al Anon Spokesman. Stop fucking posting here, jack off.
