Outrageous. I realize that the UMCJ is different than what we civilians go through but this was over ridden twice now due to ‘technicalities’ (bad behavior by prosecution). That should be enough. It should not be a matter of re trial until you get the answer you want.

Constitution? Constitution? We don’t need no dirty, stink in, Constitution/s

I wish the Obama administration would persecute muslim terrorists here in the USA the way they are persecuting this marine.

But instead of persecuting and prosecuting muslim terrorists Obama hires them.

And yet the bastard, kalid sheik mohumbug still has not been tried and might never be. The jihadi major fron Fort Hood is still alive and well and enjoying all the amenities our military “justice” can give him.
This is a farce. This is betrayal. This is evil. And this is something we should be shouting from the rooftops.

Okay for Obama to massacre wedding parties with his drones, but they will prosecute this lowly soldier from hell and back and then back to hell again.

Pure persecution of our Marines and appeasement to the Muslims. This trial and the persecution of the Haditha Marines should never have gone this far. As always with O and SecNAV MabASS I question the timing of all this. Why now? Don’t forget that the Govt never established the identity of the body found that night.

“For the Marine Corps to have walked away from this case would have led to a firestorm of controversy.”

Nice to know they are doing it for only the right reasons./ Damned coward Generals. They are utterly unworthy of the men they lead.

This is all coming down from on high. And I believe truly from on high, namely Obama and his henchmen (and women, namely Valerie Garrett).

Maybe I read this wrong, but isn't this triple jeopardy?

This isn’t justice. It’s cruel and unusual punishment.

If at first you don’t convict, try, try again.

If he would have converted to moHAMmadism they could have sent him to Gitmo and he would have been released to the Cayman Islands or some other such hell hole.

explains why Lone Survivor happened. Had they killed the civilian they would have been charged with murder.

FTA: "The U.S. is reluctant to prosecute its troops for misconduct on the battlefield..."

Not recently it seems...no expense or effort has been spared to persecute servicemembers such as this, while vermin like the Ft. Hood shooter took years and it was considered "workplace violence".

Hey kids, do you know what's different about these two examples?
