All charges against Spc. Nathan Lynn, 21, of South Williamsport, Pa., a Pennsylvania National Guardsman accused of killing an unarmed Iraq civilian near Ramadi, were dropped because the court martial found that the soldier had reason to believe the man had a weapon.
Another soldier, Sgt. Milton Ortiz Jr., 36, of Islip, N.Y., still faces one count of obstructing justice for allegedly conspiring with another soldier to put an AK-47 near the Iraqi's body.
Too bad it won’t get more than a buried-on-the-back-page mention — if anything at all.
