From what I've read about this case in Afghanistan it's Lt. Gen. Kearney that insisted these soldiers be charged with murder even after Army Criminal Investigations declared the shooting proper, sounds like Kearney is in the CYA mode. Don't know if any responsibility lies with JAGs or not but in my view Kearney doesn't give a damn about his troops.
That’s a very good point. Yet it seems the Sargeant had the leeway to not bring these charges, by his own notarized statement.
