Paul: It's hard to not feel the frustration you express, but we all have to resist it. There's always a choice. There has to be, or we are no different from the barbarians we fight. I'm utterly confident that the desire to get to the bottom of this and to punish anyone guilty of a crime is felt most strongly among the Marines themselves. Haditha may have been the ultimately dark moment for some of them, but for the rest their light shines undimmed.
