Because a sense of brotherhood and comraderie is no reason to overlook a serious transgression such as murder. You seriously think "taking care of our own" means "covering up the crimes of some low-life that slipped into our ranks"? How juvenile.

They are not "going after" their own. They are dealing with Marines who are accused of murdering innocent people just for the sake of killing them. That's murder. Just because a person wears a uniform and is deployed to a war zone, that is not reason for the person to just kill people willy-nilly. We've had too much of this kind of thing already. It should be remembered that not every Middle Eastern man is a terrorist. As long as our military people get away with cold-blooded murder, the more it will inflame the local populace. We're not exactly winning any prizes in the charm department as our young men and women fight Mr. Bush's unsavory war.

because people do bad things.. no matter who they are. and its most likely not the Marine Corps.. its the NCIS.. naval criminal investigatie service. they are deployed in iraq also and its their job to investigate things that coudl possibly be unjustified. ... we need our checks and balances.. but the iraqi's probalby werent innocent.. little f...ers

they are not "going after their own" they are after people who break the law. Just because you are in uniform, doesn't mean you have a free pass.
Thats like asking when American cops arrest an American citizen, why are they going after their own

as a former marine,1977-1981, and at any other date, we are always looking out for our own, we defend them, and, if they do something wrong we tell them and report them, we are the ELITE force, we are expected to be held to a higher stanard than any others
