In a stunning reversal, the U.S. Army decided late Thursday to retain a decorated Green Beret it had planned to kick out after he physically confronted a local Afghan commander accused of raping a boy over the course of many days.

*snip*

"In SFC Martland’s case, the Army Board for Correction of Military Records determination modified a portion of one of SFC Martland’s evaluation reports and removed him from the QMP list, which will allow him to remain in the Army," said Lt. Col. Jerry Pionk.

I never refer to Bath House by his name, whatever his real name is. “Bath House” is the Man’s Country bath house that Bath House is said to have frequented while he was in Chicago.

Looks like the army pediphile corps got caught up with. Good! Give that Green Beret a medal and a promotion. As to the Afgan child molester stone him to death.

Remember how Obola handled Seal Team Six when they became inconvenient?

Ten-to-one odds Sgt. Martland will not be with us this time next year.

Modified? Did he get a reduction in rank? Almost as bad as getting kicked out for a career soldier.

I’m with bkopto, although I use a different moniker for it.

I refer to it simply as The Usurper.

In Judeo-Christian Tradition, to name something (or someone) is to empower it. Naming and Blessing are essentially the same thing.

If that tradition isn’t enough, there is also the implication of this name which it has chosen. The form it has taken is actually a formula. I’ll let someone wiser than I am elucidate -

The Army was a shit for even thinking of trying him, esp. with the Obama administration “campaign” on sexual harassment and crimes (hypocrisy).

Army must have caught a sh-tstorm of bad PR and calls.

I am sure that was 99% of the reason they reversed their decision. it goes to show that there is still a sliver of sanity left in America.

The child molester was a village official. Apparently Thursday night is “boys night” and he was raping this boy and the courageous soldier broke it up.

I’ve used the old formulation from the Roosevelt era “that man” although since I have reason to suspect it may NOT be human at all it bothers me a bit to do it.

I understood that. I was suggesting a somewhat painful way to send the molesting bastard to allah.
