My nephew who returned from Afghanistan after serving in Iraq was sickened to hear what is being said about this action. He would not relate everything but he feels that if people only knew some of the things that really go on in and around the battle fields in Afghanistan they wouldn't be so quick to judge Bowe. He even said that he is surprised that more soldiers with a conscience don't walk off. He also feels that Bowe will not be able tell all he knows even in a court martial trial. Quite a few do walk off and end it with suicide...another untold story.
