The prosecutors and investigators need to go to jail or for once in their miserable little lives do something for the Corps and look for IEDs on foot in Iraq. That one Lance Corporal’s toenail clippings are worth more than every single Marine JAGoff and lying investigator.

You are painting with a VERY broad brush. I don't think you realize what it takes to become a JAG. JAGs tend to be among the top performers in their law schools, who had a good shot at going into higher-paying law firms, but are using their education on behalf of their country.

If you have evidence of **actual** misconduct, I'm all ears. But at worst, all I've seen in this is that the military took seriously some very serious allegations for which there was substantial (but not conclusive) evidence. There certainly isn't enough evidence to suggest that this is an abuse of prosecutorial discretion.

As regards the NCIS agents - in case you haven't been following this case, the testimony which apparently has proved crucial in exonerating Corporal Sharratt was from an NCIS agent.

I've had it up to here with all these broad-brush attacks against military lawyers and investigators from people who don't know jack-squat about the law. They're doing their job - they are duty-bound to investigate, and if there is enough evidence, prosecute allegations like were made in Haditha.
