America's Latest Infestation: JAG Lawyers Seek to Dominate "Chain of Command"

From Attorney EagleSpeak. Captain (1115),USNR (ret). Vietnam, Desert Storm & Balkans service, in his Sept. 19, 2006 The development of the "Combat Defense Lawyer" (excerpts):

As each trooper in the 82nd lines up a shot at a terrorist aiming at him, one set of the 666th CDAB attorneys will file a motion with the Combat Field Judge asserting that the trooper is about to violate the rights of the jihadist at whom he is aiming. The trooper's counsel will point out the imminent danger faced by his client and will assert "self defense" - meanwhile, the jihadist is blazing away at the trooper, ignoring the temporary injunction papers being waved at him by the Combat Marshal.

Other members of the terrorist group are gunning down members of the 666th Brigade as they try to present their business cards and establish an attorney-client relationship. Eventually the terrorists run out of ammunition only to discover that their AK-47s have not come close to being able to damage the American military as will the legal system about to invoked on their behalf by American law.

The terrorists don't have the firepower to destroy us, so they'll try to get us to demolish our own country's defenses. And it appears that it'll be the lawyers who are swinging the wrecking ball.
