A verdict like that would destroy the effectiveness of having any lawyers in the field during war.
Having lawyers in the field during war is "effective?"

Having lawyers in the field during war is "effective?"

I have no idea since I've never been involved in combat. I assume at times it must be helpful, otherwise why bother? I'm just saying asking lawyers/officers to keep investigating combat situations even if there is no crime is ridiculous. They investigated and determined no "murders" had occurred. The prosecution is essentially saying since the civilian deaths reached too high a number, a formal investigation by NCIS should have happened. That seems ineffective. Especially with the way NCIS does an investigation.
