Obama and Co don’t have any brains.
Hate to say it, but the SEALs deserve punishment if they acted unprofessionally in their duties. I just hope the guy resisted in order to justify the punch.
I wonder how many of our best and brightest in the military are going to simply say "f-this" and quit as soon as they legally can? Why put up with taking bullets for this country if the same country isn't going to back you up when you do right?
Insanity, this is pure insanity.
The guy hit his face against a bar on the Humvee and blamed it on the SEALs. Big deal.
These men have dedicated years of sweat and toil to this country and are repaid with our government taking the side of a terrorist that wants us DEAD against men that want our country’s enemies dead. We need to take this a****le and waterboard him until he forgets about that split lip and then tells us the Taliban’s and Al Qaeda’s attack strategy.
I suspect there is much more to this story than the folks who are telling the story are letting on. First clue, as always: we only hear one side of it, and from what I can tell from the coverage I’ve seen, all of the reports are third-hand at best.
Commanders lost their common sense. Remember a scene from the movie “A Bridge Too Far”. James Caan played this sergeant who brought his wounded lieutenant to an Army surgeon in a forward area hospital. The surgeon briefly looked at the wounded man and declared him dead. The sergeant did not agree so he went after the surgeon and forced him at gunpoint to examine the wounded officer again. This time the surgeon did a more thorough examination and discovered that the lieutenents pupils were still dilating, meaning he was still alive despite the head wound. The surgeon immediately beckoned his staff for surgery. The lieutenant survived. The sergeant offered to be arrested, and the surgeon a full colonel in rank called the MP. He told the MP’s that the sergeant threatened him with a pistol and will be arrested. The MP complied. The sergeant was about to resign to his fate, then the colonel told the MP to hold the sergeant for only 12 seconds and ordered them to release him. Surprised, the MP’s complied for 12 seconds and left. Technically the sergeant did break the rules, but the surgeon understood the field situation why the sergeant did what he did. So he opted to “enforce” the rules, and in his way apologized to the sergeant without destroying the discipline of chain of command. In the end the sergeant returned to the fighting and the surgeon took in the humbling lesson of the day. Hopefully officers like the surgeon still exists in our military.
This is sick....too many in leadership roles value the rights of Islamic Terrorists over the rights of our American servicemen
The courts-martial should be done on the military leadership that has zero backbone.
Bet that Michael Savage will be making an issue of this, and raising some money for their defense. Wish that other “conservative” hosts would do the same
After reading this I am convinced that we are past the point of no return folks. Political correctness has destroyed our nation.
Only a moron didn’t see this coming. The Zero’s policies clearly do not reflect the best interest of the old USA.
These guys refused a Captains Mast (Article 15) on advice of their attorney. They can win in a Courts Martial, but my guess is that the charges will be dropped before then.
A few days ago, when this was breaking, one poster here opined that this may be the military’s way of forestalling any public court (including the court of public opinion) of kangaroo-trialling these sailors. They would be advised by the military tribunal (privately) that they would not be harshly punished, and would subsequently be fined some trivial amount and/or “confined” to quarters on some particularly miserable winter weekend afternoon (probably during playoff season).
SO-2
In 22 and a half years in the Navy, I never saw this paygrade...
Looks like this administration is sending our sons and daughters into dangerous situations and then court marshaling them for doing their duty and/or defending themselves. This SUCKS!
Now they have a taste of what our government is all about. When those SEALS get out of jail, they should use their training to turn against the US Government.
The deconstruction of our military is appalling.shalom b'SHEM Yah'shua HaMashiachThe Political Correctness in the military be it
