Well -- if infact they couldn't find two soldiers in the firefight that witnessed the act... they should charge him with treason now!
once again...
Article III section 3 --
Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying war against them,
OR in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. No person shall be convicted of treason unless on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act,
or on confession in open court.
