It shows a blatant double standard (AKA hypocricy)
Larry J — (archived)

During the campaign, no one made an issue about John Kerry having killed a fleeing, wounded (but reportedly armed) teenaged VC. He was given the benefit of the doubt. Like I wrote, it sounded like a justified shoot to me. An wounded but armed man can still turn around quickly and shoot at you. If he'd dropped the weapon while fleeing, it would've been different.

No one, at least from your side of the aisle, seems willing to give any benefit of the doubt to this Marine. We don't know enough of the details to know for sure what happened, but people are quick to declare him guilty of a war crime without benefit of investigation, much less a trial. Assholes like Bowser are seeking to use this case as proof that not only is this Marine guilty of war crimes but America in general. He isn't the only one. That's why most of us living in the red states don't trust Democrats when it comes to national security.

Give the process time to work. If the investigation shows he acted improperly, that Marine is in a lot of trouble and will be prosecuted.
