Should This Soldier Be Charged ?

[RICHARD]

Richard, seriously. Did your read the last article? This marine sounded like
a stand up kind of guy.

Yes....Here's where I am coming from.

Forget who sent me there.


I am stuck inside a sand bagged sentry post.
I am stuck inside with a person who I cannot trust 100%.
I can't understand what he is saying and he is not following the
basic rules of "sentryism".

I can't know if he is telling Ackar that he has an American ripe for kidnapping, sniping or for a drive-by martydom.

The phone and the ciggies-it may be his last smoke for all I know- are signs that he is not serious about keeping me and his sorry arse alive.

ME? I would have probably done the same thing...But, first I would have made a call to let someone know that they needed to get out there ASAP...then I wqould have kicked his arse.

There is a difference in having a fight in an office or on a job site.

You don't have to woory about a third part jumping in and killing you.
As I said before-My only problem is with anyone lying on a report to get themselves out of a jam-that I will leave up to the system to figure out!

Was there justicfication for what this Marine did? I wasn't there, but you have to have a pretty good reason to shank someone.

Yep, He was stuck in situation where he should have been fearing for his life.
Before and after.

Yes. it was a very scary situation. It was also in the pre-dawn hours,
so they were fighting in the dark. Very scary.Trust your gut time.
