This is what amazes me the most whenever it involves a military person it has to be sensationalized.
So with this story can we believe that the media will now report in the following way.
1. "Another murder committed by a black man"
2. "Another hit-and-run committed by a hispanic male"
3. "Another corportation run into the ground by a white dude"
4. "Another drunken indian kills family"
5. etc....etc....etc...
I think you see where I am going with this. This guy was a piece of shit first and a military person second.
The first part is spot on. The second part is speculation until the Court Martial is over.
I was over there when the big rape of the 90's occured. It was a witch hunt. It impacts relations and forces the USA to grant concessions. If the guy is found guilty I will cheerfully go back on active duty to castrate him with a gen-u-wine USMC K-bar.
