A little justice
From the beginning, Haditha looked fishy to us. Now, with Lt. Andrew Grayson being found by the jury in his court martial not guilty on all counts, it looks more and more like the Haditha “massacre” was a put up job of the enemy and some elements in the American media. Grayson commented after his acquittal:
“The Haditha Marines stood resolute to the cause and they knew in the end that their resolve would result in their innocence. Thank God.” Grayson said there were times when he could have taken the “easy way out” by accepting a plea deal that would have spared him jail time in exchange for his testimony against other Haditha suspects. But in the end, he said, “one must do what is right.”…
Wednesday evening, Grayson said court-martialing Wuterich “was questionable at best” because the squad leader was simply following what he was trained to do -– observe the military’s rules of engagement. As for Chessani, Grayson described him as “one of the most steadfast men…He led by example and he knew the difference between right and wrong.”
So far charges against five Marines have been dropped and two cases are still pending. Bruce Kesler has a lot more to say on this troubling detour away from fighting and winning which more and more looks like it was orchestrated by America’s enemies and certain fellow travelers.

So these men will be reinstated with their honor restored, public apologies from all who defamed them and have restitution for all their legal expenses, with their innocence proclaimed in headlines, right?
Murtha? MSM? USMC Brass, present and past? I’m waiting…
I served, USMC, Vietnam era, volunteer. I’m not so sure I’d do it over again knowing it would come to this. I’m still enraged that our country would do this to our own men.
