The treatment of Lt. Cmdr. Matthew Diaz is truly disgusting. There is something really rotten at the core of the military leadership for them to try and (subsequently) convict a hero of conscience like Diaz. Either it’s plain moral rottenness or the military brass are just so beholden to the Neo-con civilian leadership and essentially spineless, that they are willing to sell out their own men in the service of their personal convenience/political expediency. I’ve felt for a long time that our brave fighting men and women do not have leaders, military or civilian, worthy of their sacrifice. You look at Veteran’s Healthcare or the longstanding denial of Gulf War Syndrome, and you wonder what our soldiers are even fighting and dying for if this is the way they’re treated after they give everything. It’s the leadership who should be in the brig, as you say. This outrage is further testimony to the fact that we are morally/ethically lost in the wilderness as a nation.

I wish to know what has happened to this fine fellow. An honest lawyer. I am so proud of him, and I want to know what has come of him. Please reply with information that you may have, and, if possible, a way that I might tell him that he is a great American hero for me.
