Please do not let your facts get in the way of a good poutrage, it does not fit the desired narrative.

BTW: The video that you allude to on wikileaks was found by Manning in the JAG folder. Which means that it was already under investigation by the Army, with those results having to be forwarded to higher headquarters which is a Joint Command. Whose make up is comprised a multiple services. So the results could have gone to a Navy, Air Force, Marine JAG for final review. Possibly even a JAG from another country.
