Many marines are honorable and decent and serve their country with honor and distinction. But not all.

In November 2005, in Haditha, Iraq, twenty-four Iraqi civilians including women and children were shot after a marine was killed in a roadside bombing. The Haditha deaths justifiably sparked international anger. Even Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki had this to say about the Haditha case.

Iraqi and multinational forces must respect human rights and the rights of Iraqi citizens, and a family cannot be killed because someone is fighting terrorists.
Yet, as supposed military justice continues it’s inexorable march towards “injustice” in Camp Pendleton, California, one after another of these marines are being set free. Predictably, the hysterical cries from the right in support of the Haditha marines slaughter of twenty-four civilians are deafening.
