I agree with JTO!
But I think Tourist is right. I didn't have a real problem with anything he said. The issue was not black and white. The very fact there are rules of engagement make it very different from ordinary criminal cases. There has to be a question of degree and extenuating circumstances. The longest running thread on this forum was, in a way, all about military law being different. It revealed numerous cases of serious offences having been committed that led to scores of deaths of our own men; but, so far, no action has been taken against these 2, 3 and 4 Stars who, it seems, are above the law. I don't like the double standards. I think that silence is far worse than any outspoken views Tourist may have.
