    If he did, he should have been brought up on charges. The last time I checked, both the Secretary of the Navy and the Commander in Chief outranked some 0-6.

    They are "attaboys", given for being slightly better than adequate.

    I am uncomfortable with the CiC directing that they be rescinded b/c he didn't like the outcome. He should've stayed out of it. Just my opinion.

    Was it because he didn't like the outcome or because he thought the prosecutors displayed a great deal of incompetence in their handling of the case? I mean, let's be real... Their key witness finagled an immunity agreement, then flipped and turned their whole case upside down. They committed so many procedural errors, the case was almost thrown out because of their incompetence. Cunningham got away with a war crime because the prosecution sucked.

    I don't have a problem with the UCMJ. I do have a problem with people who act as cheerleaders for those who violate it.

    I trust that the jury got it right. They heard all the evidence. Not just cherry picked bits and pieces.

    Do you think a jury should decide based on media reports?
