If court martial is more fair or more political. Frankly I do not know, what do you think ? A court martial is more stern than a civilian criminal court. A court martial only requires 2/3 to convict. A court martial has a panel (jury) made up of educated people who actually understand the defendants way of life and how it may/may not effect what they are alleged to do. The Judge will not put up with the BS you get in a civilian court.
By how I and even Kathianne judges the press and public statements it seems
something bad went down. You pretend nothing happend till someone is convicted is your stand. Try it on Dafur. Do you always deliberatly misinterpret things or is today a special occasion? Post where I said "nothing happend" and I will buy you a beer. Otherwize get your head out of your ass.
You convict Murtha on being anti Marines. Again oh wise one, please link to where I said that. I said "I am horrified at the idea of a fellow Marine running off at the suck to score political cool points". What if he tells the truth. Then a properly convened General Court Martial will sentence someone properly. Finding someone guilty and using it for soundbyte purposes is strickly low class.
Is he still a traitor in your eyes. If it is the trues he is a hero, if it is false
he is a traitor. Thats my approach. Do you understand the legal definition of traitor? Perhaps it is that you are translating English to German to English again. I told you, It's an American thing.......
