This is a Nifong like prosecution by rogue JAGs and NCIS investigators. These prosecutor JAGs are reprehensible and should be disbarred like Nifong. JAGs are a cancer in the military. Go to the Captain’s Quarters blog to reveal how the JAGs and rules of engagement are killing Americans. Combat decisions are being vetted by JAGs so the Marines and Soldiers don’t wind up like these poor Marines. In the meantime, Americans die or are hurt. And, naturally, none of these JAGs ever have to actually engage the enemy; they just second guess the warriors from an well guarded outposts and air conditioned offices.
Captain Stone is the company lawyer and he still got charged.
Lt. Col Chessani, the battalion commander who was directing defensive operations on multiple simultaneous ambushes such as the on 3/1 was hit with, battles that raged all day, is now facing a court martial for not going back to the scene of this one ambush That Night to investigate whether the 3/1 played nice enough.
General (?) Chirelli ordered an investigation by the Army, which backed up what 3/1 reported, and was promptly ignored.
Captain Jeffrey Dinsmore, Intelligence Officer for 3/1, listened to and watched the entire event via UAV and radio, testified that this witchunt (my word) was political in nature, and that the 3/1 responded appropriately, yet the train keeps on rolling.
There's a big fat code pink loving ABSCAM & nepotism dealing anti war activist Senate Appropriations head POS driving that train, and he cares little how many Marines he puts away on his way to riches and stinky pink things.
