What I found entertaining was the outrage exhibited by the msm when the wife said her husband would be found not guilty.
I wonder if the officer who did Eddie's reenlistment with a dead body in the background got his ass handed to him.Found not guilty, still gets demotion and a pay cut. Wtf.

I had a strict rule on my team. No war photos on missions other than my Intel guy, 18F, and no social media. As the team daddy it was a serious offense that would get you kicked off my team. I
We had a star chamber for violators.
Save your war stories for retirement at the bar.
He was investigated but never tried in court. From the UCMJ:They're charging him

Isn't that basically double jeopardy?
That is because he was found guilty of that specific charge. The others he was found not guilty.Found not guilty, still gets demotion and a pay cut. Wtf.

It was a different offense. He may be a solid warrior but he does seem to like to prove his prowess instead of being humble sbout the experiemce of killing others. Maybe he would have been a good serial killer had he failed BUDS. I am still glad he was not severely punished. War does some crazy shit in your head. There are times you just wsnt to blast everyone aroumd you and keeping that under control is not easy, especially when you see and feel all the hatred.He was investigated but never tried in court. From the UCMJ:
844. ART. 44. FORMER JEOPARDY
(a) No person may, without his consent, be tried a second time for the same offense.
