Lonsberry's article is food for thought.  I don't necessarily condone what 
the Marines did but I do understand how under the stress of combat, 
something like this can happen.  Don't be too quick to judge unless you have 
been in combat fighting under similar conditions of daily seeing your 
brothers killed or seriously wounded by an enemy who uses many forms to kill 
and maim to include IEDs. Having a three star general investigate this 
incident, in my opinion, is a real overkill.  This was not a My Lai killing 
incident or even the mutilating of bodies as done by the Taliban.  A dumb 
act, Counsel/discipline/ apologize and close the book but I know this will 
not happen as too many people in high positions are now involved.
