I believe the leaks are psy-ops. The Marines are all young men and the pressure of public opinion will tell on them and their families and friends. But I don't think it will work.

I don't believe the prosecution case is terribly strong. Wuterich, Tatum, and Sharratt all have first-class lawyers (wish the same could be for Dela Cruz). I can't imagine they'd recommend a plea deal at this stage.

I believe the accused can, and will, beat the charges.

The crucial question is whether the accused can continue to afford their first-class lawyers. That's why I've donated money to their defense fund.

If convicted, I still can't see a presidential pardon unless the political landscape changes radically. The Iraqi leadership is part of the picture in this case. The South Vietnamese government wasn't a factor during the legal wrangling over My Lai.

I thought you asked who was the Cooler King...Mr. Google says Steve McQueen. You must be on the wrong thread dude.
Snood was worn in Love Story by Miss Ali.

I never in a bazillionaire years thought you'd know who played the Cooler King, much less catch the snood reference. I shall spend the next several moments admiring you from afar.

I cheated, I googled Steve, but I really watched Winds of War.....Jan Michael Vincent was HOT on that series.
See you in the AM.

"...(wish the same could be for Dela Cruz).."

Is Bud Day available?

Post #103. Wish I could use this in every thread relating to this issue. Ditto Ditto to infinity.

You said it all Red in very few words. OORAH!

Ah,I see..

You're a smart guy who likes to win. I know you'd do the same thing.

Hack away at the base of support for the accused through a drumbeat of guilt in the media. Make the accused feel that their situation is hopeless. Get their wives and parents to a point where all they can think about is the maximum sentence.

Not such an unusual way to get a plea, wouldn't you say?
