Isn’t this great, lil?
And wouldn’t it also be good if the gov’t now drops one of charges against Frank?
Theresa and I did not notice him at the start of the closing articles. In the back of the room sat a muscular man in combat fatigues. At the end of the hearing we were told by Frank Wuterich that Captain Lucas McConnell would like to meet us. We exited the courtroom and were met by this enormous officer outside of the building. It was Captain McConnell. The Capt introduced himself and told us he was just checking up on HIS MARINE. A man of incredible integrity and honor. As you know, Captain McConnell was Justin’s commanding officer, CO of Kilo Company.
Theresa and I had talked with McConnell on numerous occasions prior to the Article 32. McConnell gave Justin a copy of Teddy Roosevelt’s “A Strenuous Life” during his 1st tour. He presented it to Justin on Christmas Day, 2004.
What a classy Marine! What a honorable man! While under charges for this same Haditha incident, he took the time to meet and talk with us at length. I just want to scream......The media and politicians need to be crucified for what they are doing to Our Haditha Marines.
Bravo to Capt Lucas McConnell—he** of a man..He** of a Marine

Super man. I believe his day of "I told you so" is coming as well.
