The enemies propaganda machine? What kind of wacky reality do you reside in? If you're referring to RT, then you should know just about every new
source has covered the Haditha massacre, I just happened to use RT as a source but I could have easily used NPR, AP, Reuters, FOX, CNN, BBC, well you
get the idea. What do you consider American MSM, friendly propaganda?
As far as the Frank's punishment, this will look bad on his evaluation but he can still reenlist and still make rank and when he does finally separate
from the Marines he will prolly get a General or Other than Honorable discharge (hell, in time maybe he'll get an Honorable Discharge), and with those
types of discharges he'll be just fine in the civilian world. Rarely has any job wanted to see my DD214 to make sure I wasn't Dishonorably Discharged.
This type of punishment I used to see happen all the time when I was in the USN, except the crime wasn't murder but DWI and alcohol related incidents.
My command at the time had a lot of fresh 18 y/o recruits and in Spain they can legally drink, so trouble ensued.
