All of the legal charges against our troops are going to cause some to be killed. It is inevitable.

American heroes are being set up, taken to other
countries for prosecutions like this, and Pres.Bush is
helping those that persecute them and set them up,
like he helps those that are jailing border patrol agents.

Bad ideas.

New article up, Red.

Looks like it was a righteous shooting no matter how you look at it. They’d just witnessed the guy being an insurgent.

They’re accused of planting the wire. Maybe the guy picked it up. Maybe the guy already had it. Does the prosecution have the wire???

Amazing, lawyers must be following these guys into combat.....wait, these military prosecutors wouldnt know combat if it came in the front door. They sit in safe areas, far from the reality of combat and wait for the opportunity to slam some GI for doing his job.

Apparently these scum prosecutors have decided our guys are the enemy.

The Leftist on the other side of my office cubical wall yesterday was discussing this with his cube mate. He was spewing filth I’m sure he heard on AirAmerica on his drive in to work, saying that “Our soldiers are shooting anyone going after the bait, innocent or not, even women and children”.
I can tell you what I really wanted to do at that moment but I need my job.

war grounds aren’t court rooms

kill the enemy no matter what it takes, that should include those within too

Something fishy here...something relevant isn’t being reported.

Just because someone picked up a curious-looking thing doesn’t make them a valid target ... and our boys know that.

Hopefully, one day, someone will bring these prosecutors to justice.

Obviously the ‘columnists’ don’t know jack about what went down and what it is to be on the ground there. Then again in my view, they’re not in any position to even write a sentence on it... period.

My question is, where’s the guys backup? FUBAR

JAG officers are the American zampoliti, the political officers who can overrule commanders in the field if the call doesn't comply with doctrine.

The moment I saw the JAG override the Predator drivers who had Mullah Omar in the reticle, I knew we were not serious about prosecuting the war - but they're damn sure serious about prosecuting our troops.

We cannot afford to have our troops questioning whether or not their actions will lead to legal ramifications. This is NOT the way to conduct war. As soon as the soldier/sailor/airman stops for a split second to wonder if the next action he/she takes to kill an enemy combatant, one or more of the good guys will be killed by the enemy. This is what the moonbat left wingers want. If we let them succeed, even after the fact by changing the rules of the war after the battle has been won, we may as well not have a military. The consequences of that should be obvious to us all. This is an extremely dangerous situation and our future depends on it.

This is what happens when the Commander in Chief has never been in combat. It’s impossible for anyone to fully appreciate the need for flexible rules of engagement unless they’ve been there and done that.

They need to start shooting the lawyers doing this sort of cr@p. Since the lawyers have decided to join the the war on the terrorists’ side, they need to be made legal targets for the military and the “unorganized militia.”

What a bunch of B.S.

Keep these liberal anti American lawyers off the battlefield. If they want to walk in it, shoot them too. Having to justify a shooting after the fact in a war zone is completely retarded, and as we can see in this case, using 'aids' to speed up the process only results in aiding anti- war/ anti American leftist moonbat lawyers to smear those risking their lives and limbs stomping out fanatic Islamists who kill women and children without a second thought.

Why don't these leftist moonbats walk into terrorist camps with their leftist moonbat UN police and arrest terrorists for not playing according to the "rules" these UN peaceniks think they can place on warfare??

Democrats and American citizens who participate in this traitorous troop and nation bashing should be arrested and tossed in Gitmo with the murdering ( but oh so "devout") Islamic terrorists.
I'm so sick of the insanity going on in this country's government. It needs to be cleansed of all the rich elite idiots that have corrupted all levels of it so completely, and the departments of special interest groups, and restock all levels of government with sane, average American citizens, the very people who should be able to run for office but can't, because they aren't rich.

Only the richest, and therefore spoiled, out of touch with reality elite can run for office in this country, and lawyers, 2nd and 3rd generation Hollywierdo actors who live in a completely altered reality of continuous coke parties, smoozing with faggy "fashion designers" who make "clothing" no sane person would ever wear, and all the rest of the worlds weirdest "elite" (drug cartel families, Marxist elitists, Gaia worshippers, Scientologists, etc)

Professional left-wing activists are in Iraq paying Iraqis to file bogus charges against Americans.

It’s treason. They want to emasculate our military via JAGS.

Fuel for the Hollywood writers. Every legal case that comes out of Iraq where our troops can be made to look like criminals will be editorialized by the scum out in California and shown in theaters and television for years to come.

Sickening.

There’s a very simple way to help idiots understand war.

Smack them!!

And keep smacking them until they learn that curling up into a ball and whining “Stop it!!” doesn’t have any affect - they’re still being smacked.

And they’re going to continue to be smacked until they hit back. At that point, the smacking stops and you tell them “Welcome to war!!”

Obvious benefits aside, it makes them crazier than they already are!!

However, some soldiers serving in Iraq said that the program and the subsequent murder charges have caused them to rethink pulling the trigger in the field out of concern that they could be charged with crimes for doing so....make a split-second decision ...the man and possibly face scrutiny, or let him go and possibly put...service members in jeopardy in the future.

This is outrageous! This is WAR, for crying out loud! Let our troops do the job WE SENT THEM THERE TO DO! (Yes, I am yelling)
