I'm connecting two topics, and hopefully I'm not out of line --
The military has seen a real spike in suicides. They talk about confronting this problem, about doing whatever is necessary to stop suicides. Be a wingman. Be observant about people going through tough times. Help them.
The military has had a tough time bringing the suicide rate down. Well, I have a hunch that stealing beloved dogs from soldiers suffering from PTSD is not a step in the right direction.

Contact his Senator and Congressman. There is no way some 0-5 can have this much authority. If he is violating a law fry him.

Grommet needs to get a good lawyer. He may have a case if Vargas is in violation of Robbie’s Law.
To: Jet Jaguar
Last Friday Brent Grommet was pulled aside by two majors at Fort Campbell and warned not to speak about Matty to The Post, or he would be sent to prison at Leavenworth.
Its not a threat, Brent was told. Its [military] law.

As the owner of a black German Shepherd, I know how loyal this breed is.
Let the Army send him to Leavenworth. Matty is worth the fight.

Not a threat my ass.

It *is* despicable; how can we help Brent Grommet?
Perhaps call or write a letter to our congressman/senators?
Any other suggestions?

As the owner of a black German Shepherd, I know how loyal this breed is German Shepherd's are unbelievably loyal and intelligent.
This is really rotten of the military to not go way out of their way to accommodate this veteran. It's the least they could do...
If it were my dog, they'd have to put me in GD cage to shut me up over this.

I do not cuss on Free Republic but I will make an exception for this. Providing the article is correct, any officer that would deny this wounded warrior his dog, his companion and brother in arms is a SORRY SON OF A BITCH.

Yes, I think that is the key. If any FReeper can find out who the Congresscritters are of this soldier are we can do what FReepers do and reunite Matty with his soldier.
