We know very well that the overwhelmingly majority of service women and men overseas for any country are good people trying to do their best for the country they believe in. We also know that a few bad apples make the rest look VERY bad and brings in to question many policies and many conflicts.
I read a few articles surrounding this story and because of the cultural stigma associated with rape, especially in these Asian cultures, you have to wonder whether the girl's family forced her to drop this to "save face" in the community or if the Armed Forces "helped" the family move in another direction.
In does not look very good and as many cases of false rape being cried, there are a multitude more of real rape cases going prosecuted. If the marine is guilty, chop them off!! If he is innocent though, his life will be forever tainted by the accusation and everyone's inability to prove it one way or another.
I'm not a big fan of Kobe Bryant's (even though I am a fan of his skills). That said, the evidence seems to show he simply f**ked up by f**king someone other than his wife. I do not believe for an instant that he raped that girl. And for the record, neither do I believe the little innocent church girl that went to Tyson's room to "watch TV" in the middle of the night. The problem is the burden of proof. And sometimes, it is better to let people think the worst than it is for them to know the whole truth.
What a world we live in.
Peace.
