pensions...pensions....pensions.....they’ll go to their knees protecting their pensions...
This happens during a time of war. If an approaching person looks to present a danger, you must act. I thought liability for prosecution was one of the main reasons we pulled out of Afghanistan anyway. Now, we are judging our own American soldiers as guilty of criminal behavior.
I don’t mean times when a deranged serviceman truly does go nuts and kills scores of innocent civilians. Sadly, that did happen a couple of times. Hopefully, this man can hold on till we get a new president who may revisit this conviction.
Don’t hurt the enemy...it might make them angry. Besides, it’s probably racist too!
And how many soldiers deaths is Bergdahl responsible for?
Don’t worry. I’m sure the lesser evils we sent to DC on the demand of staunch right wing rock Ribbed conservatives, will trip over themselves getting this man justice.
Because thats what lesser evil does. Fights injustice. So fear not. When all the people on the threads the last couple days rally to the Romney cause as they have been, you know that the severely conservative winner who is famous for his love of the American military, will pardon this man and others railroaded by PC as his first act in office.
As much as I respect the individuals in the military, as a whole, it is still a government bureaucracy that must conform to the political winds and attitudes of Washington DC. Its dangerous to be a US soldier with the present administration. Political correctness casualties will be high.
This action by Clarke is evidence of reasonable doubt regarding guilt.
Lorance, at the least, deserves a retrial.
