Our troops do not deserve this.
By contrast, illegal aliens routinely get amnesty.

WE WANT AMNESTY FOR OUR TROOPS.
Our valiant soldiers should have sovereign immunity.

While I have much more faith in our Marines than their detractors no one deserves blanket immunity.

Everyone has to be held accountable for their actions.

In cases where there is credible evidence that members of our military have stepped well outside of the rules of engagement, it needs to be investigated by our military. Not civilian courts, not some world court, but by our military.

There burden for proving a crime needs to be set high, and evidence needs to be solid.

I would be very surprised if these accusations are true.

I don't know if this investigation is being conducted because there was enough evidence to justify investigating, or if the military is bending to media and political pressure.

These leaks make me suspect the latter. Those leaking information about this ongoing investigation need to be caught and court marshaled. We are at war and such actions undermine our ability to wage that war. They should be dealt with accordingly.

They must be held accountable for their actions just as our soldiers must. At this point I haven't heard evidence that our soldiers have broken the rules of engagement. These leakers have.
