Re: "50 years later, a former marine grapples with questions of murder--and an elusive search for the truth"

It was an interesting article.  It is not surprising
that the investigation by the USMC was "far from
thorough."  There is very little interest by the
Department of Defense to fully investigate these type
of allegations against US service members, especially
those who are now senior citizens.  Let alone actually
try someone and hold them accountable.  

On the other hand, if there was a war crimes
allegation about someone in the US who was a former
Nazi, that is an entirely different story.  The US
government would spare no expense to investigate the
allegation, no matter how any years it takes.  A good
example is that guy Demanjanjuk who was deported to
Israel in his wheelchair.  He was a low level Nazi and
I think he was about 80.  The government must have
spent millions of our tax dollars over the years to
determine if he was a war criminal and work his case
through the court system and its numerous appeals.
