You’re right, it’s a problem with the young and naive (law wise) servicemen. The investigators have much training in the methods to exploit these guys when it comes to “being their buddy” and then later sticking it to them.

I’ve seen several lawyers here make posts that say do not talk to an investigator without a lawyer, I used to think that was going too far but I sure don’t now.

It is only that it is simply your right not to say anything and to have a lawyer present. It doesn't have anything to do with not cooperating in an investigation. It is my opinion that doing anything to discourage or abrogate the use of those rights is what I would call "going too far".

At the very least, I'd hope we'd all agree that anyone who serves our country does not deserve a trial by media. Nor does he deserve less of a defense than a civilian would receive.

Dittos.

I didn't realize you had coined obamalamadingdong ...

Well, if I found it in an urban dictionary, maybe I didn't....I just thought I did. I'm waiting for an obamalamadingdong to come knocking on my door and "get in my face". :-)

Re. the "conspiracy" thought, bhfred....shhhhhh. Don't give prosecutors any ideas.

Fortunately for me, we have neither doorbells,( but some out here have some pretty nice knockers), nor “urban” dictionaries.

About the “conspiracy”, do you want me to reKant that?

Do tell. It IS comforting in a way to know that even with a mystery woman “you” are getting the same ol’ thang.

Now, thanks to you I am going to change my tag.
