Since they cancelled the homecoming celebration in his home town, I wonder what Obama will do to try to make him look like a hero.

Tickertape parade maybe?

Sounds like too much smoke for there not to be a fire.

The Army system will investigate and try him, too much pressure not to.

I heard a quote by a Navy Admiral who said if you went overboard, they would turn the ship around and go back for you, and that applied if you fell, were pushed or jumped.

This will be a strange one to watch, we have the concept that we never leave a man behind versus dealing with taliban versus the UCMJ.

God help this guy if he is not a deserter as Francis Luttrel commented recently, he is convicted by the press for sure.

From what I saw he was condemned by a cadre of men from his own unit. They said he AWOL.

That is the point, the R news stations ran interviews with certain folks and the D stations ran interviews with others that said they did not know what happened but trusted the military to investigate. Sort of like picking and choosing what to run as news.

Back when I took Lt Calley to Leavenworth from Fort Benning (you old timers remember?) the news was a different animal, not a venue for political expression. I miss the old days. I choose to wait to make judgement on this guy till the system works on the investigation according to law.

He looked like a beaten dog in the video.
