I have to chime in.

Take a best friend., co worker or relative.

Now think about them in splattered on a wall, have them die next to you,
or have them bleed to death in your arms.

I think it is a grave mistake to judge a 'personality disorder' without having known or seen what triggered a person to act that way.


Yes, there are people who slip thru the cracks.....But there are things seen in war time that can move a person to the edge of sanity.

Yep, that is a crime what that soldier did....

Whitmire is a journalist that probably has never had his best friend shot or killed in he presence...

He is just parroting the 'facts' as he gets them.

I don't really give any story written by some wuss, at a desk in a news room,
any credence....it's all second hand wordage.

In a court of law hearsay don't mean squat.

we can give any Peterson, Simpson, Ramsay character a break, but when it come to some jerk, fighting a war, we can't even see the forest.

Yep, he may have confessed but where are his rights.

----------------------------

If we happen to capture a bomber that kills 30 people in a market place in Iraq are we willing to give him a break?


The question is why he did it.
