100% pure grade a bullshit

You know, it is reading nonsense like this that really make me start to question what kind of place our country has turned into. If this Marine, Sgt. Jose Nazario, committed a crime, he should and would be reactivated, sent to a court martial or military tribunal, appropriately tried, and punished or not as either of those two entities decided. The fact that this “Military Extraterritorial Jurisdiction Act” seems to give civilian courts jurisdiction over military members and their actions during war… That is just scary to the extreme. As if the military was not having enough problems already, now soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines are going to worry about how their actions might be perceived and possibly prosecuted when they get home. And, when you get right down to it, what the hell is a civilian court doing trying a military member for military actions executed while on active duty in a military campaign? Does anyone else see a problem with this? Anywise, The Victorious Opposition, Blonde Sagacity, and Hennessy’s View have more information about this case, as well a link to the defense fund for Sgt. Jose Nazario and the other Marines involved.
