(62,683 posts)2. He did break the law, though, so I doubt if they'd be dropped.
It was how he was treated and in essence, tortured, that upsets me more than the charges. (Although I think lesser charges could have been brought.)
He was railroaded and not given a fair chance. I understand that in the Military you give up many of your rights, but how we treated one of our own was inexcusable.
More of the poison as a result of the TERRA! current mindset.
