One was freed.
The navy corpsman who confessed that they did it, and tried to cover it up. They freed him from the courtroom and then re-confined him in a jail cell for his role in the coverup. What part of confession do you not get? Granted the whole solitary confinement was not necessary.

because without bad how would you identify good?

Or as succinctly stated by Goethe in Faust:

Freud muss Leid und Leid muss Freude haben."

And to think I gave them $20.00 already. Does ANYBODY know what Christmas is about? Know how appropriate a Jesus doll is? Know who is the main character in those manger scenes beneath the trees? Criminyentley!!

Did you mean this reply for the Toys for Tots post? If you did, could you explain?

Talking Jesus dolls are kind of weird.

I don't think we need to go there. Leave the kids alone, let this charity provide some toys without making a big fuss about it.

They're toys, for goodness sakes.

Anybody would confess if they were shackled to the wall, threatened to be killed, and were to poor to get a lawyer.

I think the "talking Jesus doll" is weird and disgusting, and I don't think they should have allowed it. Or maybe they should let only Evangelicals sign up to get it.

"Anybody would confess if they were shackled to the wall, threatened to be killed, and were to poor to get a lawyer."

Another confessed yesterday. No doubt, all around a bad deal. See you buddies getting killed everyday. Pieces of legs and arms, heads laying around, and you were just talking to each other. Might tend to make anyone stress out and snap. Whether a few snapped or not, who knows. It is hard to judge unless you are there yourself. Shooting someone unarmed, and not a combatant, I have a problem with that. As I understand it, the corpsman didn't know but went along with the cover up.

It was in response to post 9 and explained in post 17.

The more I look at it, the more I agree with you.
