Marines cleared regarding Afghanistan shooting

Posted By Uncle Jimbo

Last year on the first deployment of Marine Corps Special Ops overseas, a MARSOC unit was hit by an ambush  in Afghanistan. They returned fire and broke contact just as they are trained to. Afghani civilians were killed in the incident and local pressure on the command was high. They responded by empaneling a special tribunal to investigate and after reviewing the findings the command decided not to charge the men.

“Obviously, I am delighted about the findings,” said civilian attorney Knox Nunnally, who represented Noble before the Court of Inquiry. “From a legal standpoint, it was overwhelming that this was going to be the result.”

Update: Rej in forms me this lawyer is Knox pere' not the Knox I know. Good on ya' anyway sir.

The lawyer's name may be familiar to some of you, as Knox is a founding member of Vets for Freedom and was a tremendous host for us on the Heroe's Tour while we were in San Antonio and Austin this Spring. Congrats on a job well done Knox.
