Hey Mike,
Thanks for the excellent post. As always, very thorough !

I am more than certain he did a ton of good soldiering and we'll continue to find events suggesting he still is and just needs help.

Unless he produces a handgun under each and every child's pillow from that evening, I can't think of any reason to line them up and do head shots.

Even if he wasn't a father of two, the entire event is inexcusable and inexplicable. If I was one of his offspring, I'd be real worried about his return home
