I think the answer is that when you join the military you agree to abide by military law and how it is administered. I could be wrong, I believe Jeannine is retired military so perhaps she can give you a better answer.

and I have been to many, many trials, from Captain's Masts (not unlike a low level court appearance) to Courts Martials (the big daddy) - due to the position I held. All were fair, all were above board. I have never been to a military tribunal based on war crimes, however.

Terry, to answer your question from above, I do believe in fighting to uphold the Constitution. I do not think that these war criminals are worthy of its' protection.

Military tribunals are fine with me, but honestly still too good for them.

The day we behead an innocent man, video tape it and release it to the world.... THAT is the day we stoop to their level.

Many of my feelings and beliefs are based on personal experience from Desert Shield and Storm. I also lived in the middle east for two years. I know that does not make me an expert. It is my opinion only. I am entitled to one. Peace.

I always value your opinion and I do understand that your comments come from personal experience. I thoroughly enjoy your posts and you always make me think.

We will have to disagree about who are worthy of constitutional protection. We can add it to the list of things you and I disagree about. :-)
