In the meantime the American soldier he killed is dead.

As we all knew, due process in these cases will make a mockery of justice. That is a shame because when you cripple what is an important part of the whole, the whole will fail.

Sooner or later we will pay a price for the lawyering of the US Military.

Every soldier I know will be the first to tell you that being a soldier is about putting your life at risk during whatever combat situation arises.  They have made a choice for themselves so I find your argument that the death of soldier must find the same sort of justice that we strive to exist on the streets of America just plain goofy.  If my husband were killed in Bosnia or Iraq it isn't a one on one personal situation.  Soldiers live by the mission and die by the mission...and lawyering the military.  If any one single institution needs lots and lots of lawyering from now till the end of eternity it is the military my friend.  God save us from the day that the military is no longer "lawyered".  The military is an institution so don't worry Jim, it feels no pain from all this lawyering but without lawyering you may feel some pain someday at the hands of the military.
