He is a great man as I am sure the others are. As said in above comments, he is not a murderer. He is a patriotic, honorable man who always did what was right to the best of his abilities and deserves nothing more than the highest respect for his actions as an NCO. He was hard, but he was fair, and as long as we gave our 110%, he did everything he could to take care of us and return the effort we put forth. Being persecuted, and prosecuted, for taking action to do what is right for his fellow soldiers and our great country is not what he, or the others deserved. We are with you and stand behind you!

Why we are using a role model as a Political excuse...When did we start leaving our own behind? For sure I'll be writting my congressmen. I can not believe this situation.

Serve your country and you might go to prison as a POW in your own country. What kind of message are we send to our troops? Just be shot and take your chances on being alive but do not shoot back because you will be a POW in your own country!!!!! I will be telling my brother who will be deploy to Iraq this year. But to remind us, We have the right to bear arms. This makes me sick to my stomach!!!! This blows my mind, as a navy brat all my life, this is unbelievable!!!!

I have read many comments and agree with the ones that say it is terrible the military is putting our heroes in prison. They send the soldiers over there to protect the innocent from the radicals and when the job gets done, the soldier is punished!! I have read the update on MSG Hatley's status and was disturbed to see his clemency was denied. What civilians and soldiers need to do now is write their state senators and congressmen/women to encourage them to stand behind MSG Hatley. If the military won't look kindly upon him then maybe the government will and speak up for him. Maybe his story will carry to the ears of our President and a pardon be granted. After reading his creditentials, it warmed my heart to see he was at Camp Hovey. My husband has been at Hovey for 18 months and I for 15 months. I know when MSG Hatley was here, the area was quite a bit different than now. The area has grown-up a lot. I just discovered this site today and was completely blown away by the story.

I know his character and he is NOT a murderer. He IS the guy that will give you the shirt off of his back though. Let’s start by continuously writing and emailing the U.S. Senators for Texas, Kay Bailey Hutchison Web address (http://hutchison.senate.gov/contact.cfm ) and John Cornyn. Web address http://cornyn.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?p=ContactForm Bug them until they check into it. You all know that the squeaky wheel gets the grease… Rakkasans Lead the Way!

What are the names of the Jury members and/or Judge? We should bombard them with mail and ask for an accounting of their decision. Who was the JAG officer that prosecuted this case?
