We will be joined by panelists Chris Czaplack, the original lead prosecutor in the case, and Josh Vriens, one of the decorated military witnesses, as they have a conversation about the importance of the laws and customs of war, and the pursuit of justice in the hardest of circumstances.  

Our panelists will explore:

• Whether this case frustrates battlefield accountability by deterring service members from reporting war crimes.
   
• Whether the military justice system is so irreparably flawed that it should be replaced by the federal civilian criminal justice system.
   
• If the rule of law can be shielded from presidential interference even though they sit as the commander-in-chief?
