Troops

Is it possible that our own military leadership is being too aggressive in going after our soldiers for misconduct. I think that we need to be careful and fair to soldiers who would rather be home with their family than in the hostile war zone of Iraq and the Middle East. The following is interesting.

After months of congressional pressure, the Department of Defense Office of Inspector General has opened an investigation of an Army general who tried to bring murder charges against U.S. troops.

The investigation, requested by Rep. Walter B. Jones, North Carolina Republican, will probe whether Lt. Gen. Francis H. Kearney III overstepped his bounds and/or compromised legal proceedings in two Afghanistan incidents, one involving Marines and the other involving two Special Forces soldiers.
