Episode 6....Swanson and the Staff Sargent put this all in motion. A huge can of CYA. The Staff Sargent being dumb enough not to realize Swanson is the entire reason CID ever shoved the threat of murder charges in his face is either he's dumb as hell or he was in cahoots. it's written all over Swenson's face. They look at the pardon as an admission of "guilt" so their whole cover their own asses worked great.....
While none of them should've been charged, until they admit they lied to save their own skins, may they continue to supposedly suffer until they admit that they lowered themselves to blame the new guy and helped Swanson create the scapegoat the brass was looking for, just because he was the gay guy.
The fact Lorance still displays what role his sexually played in this, just means he's not going to be able to fix anything either.
1 thru 5:
ADD: The kicker is at NO TIME does this SHITTY documentary team point out this young man was a senior NCO (non-commissioned officer/ aka. senior enlisted) seeing heavy fire in Iraq just a couple years before this incident. IT IS THE underlying PROOF the entire team that testified against him was lying. HOLY SHIT. Irresponsible doesn't even begin to explain it...
...you literally have to pause the letters in the 5th episode and read them to know this. A major FUBAR.
ORIGINAL:
If you want to see how gays are treated in the military normally, this is a great case.
Right wing religious zealots who believe it's a sin, so child joins military to hide it.
Homophobic brass who transfers a star soldier to the most hazardous frontline almost as soon as they realize he's gay.
Brass threatening all the gay guy's men with murder charges themselves if they don't fall in line.
(The Staff Sargent both dumb enough to make derogatory gay comments in court and admit he was threatened with me charges.)
A unit that only had 3 days with the gay guy, so ZERO loyalty to him.
The men then bold faced lying since even their previous LT said no easy he would allow a motorcycle near them. (You would have to be a total idiot to not realize at that point this LT did exactly what the previous one would've done ) They knew this guy in person for ONLY 3 DAYS. They talk like they knew him forever. Red flag.
Most importantly, when in combat, the stories NEVER match up as well as these guys written statements and continued statements do. NEVER. There's a lot going on. They scramble into positions. Each view should be off slightly from the ones closest to each other. The guy who supposedly turned the gay LT in conveniently never testified? BIG RED FLAG.
(Weirdest is throughout that Staff Sargent just always seems so pleased with himself. It's creepy and extremely telling. It's not a guy with any guilt and that's neon sign who was the actual ring leader in this group. He's pulled a lot of these strings from start to finish. )
NVM the 1st attorney obviously thinking the gay guy was guilty. NVM the 2nd set trying to ignore that while it really is the crux of why all this happened in the first place.
Dumbest? Right wing zealots taking a gay man's story to Fox and thinking that would help. ONLY complete morons would not realize Hannity was saying let that gay guy rot as soon as the camera was off.
It's not even a comedy of errors. He's a gay man who was targeted because he was gay and these guys "guilt" is because they know they are lying.
The 3 rating?
It really is overkill how hard they push the version that this team told. Again just too obvious they're lying for self preservation reasons. The Staff Sargent just too cocky about it. He saved his own ass and he would do it again.
The attempt to humanize the story just muddled up what was blatantly a bunch of anti-gay people pretending that isn't the reason he's there.
