hmm, I'll stick with what I said. The evidence is not pointing toward a conviction of unpremeditated murder, but he's ready to testify. NCIS is very good about finding out who the weak man is, I'm sure he's thinking he can salvage his career from this too.


If they crossed "the line" for me that would be going on a rampage, killing women and children in order to vent their anger, grief, and disgust at the death of their squadmate due to the actions of people in that village. That's what the case is built around, and it's rather flimsy.

If they crossed "the line" they deserve a fair conviction, with the inclusion of mitigating circumstances, like any courts martial. There's nothing that has come out about the case that indicates that they need to be burned: harshly punished for especially igregious violation of the UCMJ.:iwo:

Sh1t rolls downhill and from what I have read and heard the SGT is going to tell all to save his hide.

I will reserve judgement until all of the trial is over and the facts are in. I am totally with the Marines who stand by each other:usmc:

Madden is currently on tour with fellow vets going to military bases to reach out to active duty troops and urge them to get involved in efforts to end the war.

Fist+++++++++++++You are so right on that. Having worked the brig as a NCOIC of "B" block max. sec. Happy Valley Vietnam. I have watched a lot of boys come in to the brig doing time for murder, drugs, U.A. and a host of outher things they come in thinking they are big sh!t by the end of the day they have been beat up a few times and have became Big Al's lover they will do anything to get out of there.

Sigh. It's sad, but not typical anymore I'm afraid. Seems like more and more, instead of holding people accountable, or trying to get to 'the truth', (whatever it may be) NCIS et al are more interested in getting a conviction, ANY conviction, to justify everything they've done.

I am going to withhold judgement in this case until I see all the facts, but I believe this is a political prosecution designed to appease the screaming lefties. Now, I could be proven wrong on that, ya never know.

And, the Madden kid should have simply said "Thank you" and went on his way instead of blowing off from the sewer under his nose. Anything worthwhile he might have had to say will be colored, IMO, from this point on by the fact that he's a bloviating idiot.
