JAG support commanders they do not run operations. He may have ridden along on some convoys, and even lead a few Marines that worked for him. But he job was not running convoys or convoy security.

Never said he was incharge of total convoy security

However:

He arrived in Iraq in August, and took over convoy commander duties and helped organize the payroll of Ramadi-area government workers. In November, he volunteered to help secure the eastern entry into Fallujah while coalition forces swept through the city.

“I certainly did not do the heaviest of the lifting,” he said. “But on the convoy, we were ambushed on more than one occasion.”

He defends marines accused of atrocities and you don't like that?

Also, he is a marine officer

Your total lack of respect for someone with such a background is truely mystifying

Oh so you're the new spokesmen for US military personnel?

You have combat soldiers coming back saying "they're not reporting the good news and the whole unit agrees with me blah blah" and you have other combat soldiers coming back saying "we don't know who we're fighting or why we are here, the whole unit really questions the war blah blah"

I am sure the same thing exists in the military, your personal bias is shared by some people so you think everyone has it...

Lots of veterans voted for Paul Hackett, knowing he was in JAG

I would vote for him if I agreed with his politics.
