EXCLUSIVE: Even as the U.S. military denies reports that American troops were told to ignore Afghan child abusers, an 11-year Green Beret who was ordered discharged after he confronted an alleged rapist was informed Tuesday that the Army has denied his appeal.
Sgt. 1st Class Charles Martland earlier this year was ordered discharged by Nov. 1. He has been fighting to stay in, but in an initial decision, the U.S. Army Human Resources Command told Martland that his appeal “does not meet the criteria” for an appeal.
“Consequently, your request for an appeal and continued service is disapproved,” the office wrote in a memo to Martland.
The memo was shared with FoxNews.com by the office of Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Calif., who has advocated for Martland’s case. According to Hunter's office, Martland learned of the decision Tuesday.
The memo, dated Sept. 14, comes as the Defense Department comes under criticism amid reports that U.S. soldiers were instructed to look the other way when Afghan troops and officers were sexually abusing boys.
Gen. John F. Campbell, commander of U.S. forces in Afghanistan, said in a statement Tuesday that he is “absolutely confident that no such theater policy has ever existed here, and certainly, no such policy has existed throughout my tenure as commander.”

Hopefully Rep. Duncan Hunter hangs on to this travesty like a pitbull and gets just for Charles Martland, of course being that 0bama just nominated an openly gay man to be the next Army Secretary won't help.
Shariah, homosexual rape, pederasty. All comes with Islam.
I am sure the newly Obama appointed Secretary of the Army will have no problem with Afghan boy pedophilia
I’d like to know how the “order” came about to discharge him. A discharge can’t just be ordered. There has to be some sort of hearing.
If it were me, I would have requested a court martial and let a jury of my peers pass judgment. I would point out the policy and how it is not a lawful one to ignore crimes being committed.
“Shariah, homosexual rape, pederasty. All comes with Islam.”
Along with the murder of Jews , Christians , and anyone else who is not Islamic
Evil = good.
Good = evil.
The Army has become a joke today. The Pentagon same as , but both have something in common and that is they have Generals and top officers who are all yes men and women who only care about themselves and not the service or the country they serve.
Well done divider in chief in creating a once great branch of the military to something akin to the Paki army.
Homosexuals, cross dressers, and only care about me officers now.
I only hope Cruz or possibly Trump changes all of this and then uses the real facts behind homosexuals and cross dressers, plus remove all of these officers.
Sure, that was covered by shariah.
Sharia allows a raped woman to be punished / killed ? Honor killings of wives and daughters is ok under Sharia.
Sharia Islamic law and our resident relegates non-Muslims like the US Army to “dhimmi” status.
More PC nonsense...
Well golly, if they don’t want him, do you think he’d be interested in organizing some kind of Oath Keepers militia? Sure seems to have the training, and I have a feeling it will be coming in handy.
Yep, it sure does and it’s really sick that out military basically condones it by cashiering this SFC for doing the right thing.
There’s little doubt that someone high in the Afghan government got the attention of one of 0bama’s lapdogs in this case.
SFC Martland was CM.
Yep, this and other abominations in the military are directly the fault of this pathetic CinC.
Amen to that.
Pretty much everyone over Capt. needs to be discharged and replaced. And many of them as well.
The Army is as sick as America. General Dahl testilies for Bergdahl while Captain Quinn and the SFC are rifted for kicking a pederasty in the ass. Sick and getting sicker.
Seems more like enemy islamist nonsense to me...as in the CIC.
So he was discharged for defying an order that was never given!?
Sure is a lot of discipline and order in the Army isn’t there?
Absolutely! I was flabbergasted by General Dahl’s testimony on Bergdahl, he must want a third star awful bad.
