I think my friend summed it up best when he said, "This trial represents the first time in our Nation's history that a civilian Federal Court (vice military courts-martial) will be trying a Marine for actions which allegedly occurred in the heat of battle. As many of you know, the assault on Fallujah was the bloodiest fighting the Marine Corps has seen since Hue City, Vietnam. America needs to be aware of the Monday morning quarterbacking going on here. In the comfort of an air-conditioned office, without getting shot at, four years later and six thousand miles removed, Marines' actions in the heat of battle are being second guessed by those who never bothered to put their own lives on the line. It's shameful. For those of you who have served, but for the grace of God, this could be any one of us."
That friend is one of the attorneys on the case. God bless you guys for standing up for our brother service members and veterans.
