Former Marine decries trial in civilian court
A former Marine sergeant facing the first federal civilian prosecution of a military member accused of a war crime says there is much more at stake than his claim of innocence on charges that he killed unarmed detainees in Fallujah, Iraq.
In the view of Jose Luis Nazario Jr., U.S. troops may begin to question whether they will be prosecuted by civilians for doing what their military superiors taught them to do in battle.

2 The path of justice shines like a light On any whose guilt is known by all. There's no virtue so truly great As when the sword of justice must fall. Except for the selfish of earth That, which is unjust, pleases none. I would rather die in exile Than be a victim on the run. Those who pass judgment to quickly Without hearing the other side Never wish to be just at all But wicked and shallow inside. The spirits of the just are kind For hate has not consumed their soul. The mills of judgment grind slowly When justice with mercy's our goal. By Tom Zart Most Published Poet On The Web |

WTF This is not justice. This is a civilian court with opinions of Military men doing harm that region they believe should be left alone. This poem has no merit in this case. |

1 We are doomed. Who is ever going to go battle knowing they have to watch everything they do. When you have to second think everything, you are as good as dead. |

2 You are right. Our men and women go into battle to protect what, our freedom in this country and yet they may not be afforded this same freedom when they come back from war. Any person going into the military these days better think twice about what they may be putting their lives on the line for. These new wars are wars for "profit" and this government doesn't even care if their own military men and women lives or dies, its all about profit! This country has come to a sad stage in its history. |
