Yet MORE doubt about this story today. Time is issuing corrections on an assembly-line basis now, and the lefties are almost frantic as they watch a terrific opportunity to lose the war that is almost won begin to wobble.

It may STILL turn out to be Marine mis-conduct (which could run the gamut from mass murder all the way down to poor judgement in combat), or it could be just the randomness and bad fortune that makes war the ugly mess that it is, and which most of us can't look at stand to look at and acknowledge.

Sometimes, even when you're following your TTPs/SOPs and doing everything right...the wrong people get in the way of all that lethality at your command. Let's see what the investigations tell us, and have a little faith that they'll get it as right as they can.
