I'm NOT attempting to start another Civil War here - just stating facts which my research has turned up after 40 years. I simply don't believe that he was a cold blooded killer. I happen to believe, like Laurie and the rest that he was a decent person who got involved in a situation over his head. He was a soldier. He was following orders. Period. End of discussion.
