You make a valid point, but unless I'm horriibly mistaken, the bulk of these charges were brought up by the US Marine Corps and the US Army, not by Democrats or by the liberal media.
Which is why I'm curious why there's been what has been described as a "sudden spate of investigations and charges". Is it representative of a top-level crackdown on military misconduct, is there just extra media attention and this has been going on from the beginning, or are more and more troops reaching a breaking point?
