It was how he was treated and in essence, tortured, that upsets me more than the charges. (Although I think lesser charges could have been brought.)

He was railroaded and not given a fair chance. I understand that in the Military you give up many of your rights, but how we treated one of our own was inexcusable.

More of the poison as a result of the TERRA! current mindset.
