No, he's being tried for abusing a detainee. As an officer he is supposed to set the example. He failed, and is being tried. If he didn't do it he will walk.
I haven't said too much during these threads about prisoner abuse, but I need to speak up now. The military must unfortunately investigate every alegation of abuse because of all our liberal friends running around looking for the boogy man. Do not blame the command for the investigation, their hands are tied, they have to do it.
It tough when we must abide by all the rules, but the enemy doesn't follow any rules.
It's interesting. Military Freepers tend to look at instances of prisoner abuse by our military with a sense of disgust. It's generally the armchair warriors on FR who cheer this type of behavior on.
No, he's being tried for allegedly abusing a detainee. Until he is found guilty of that crime he is an Navy Seal Officer who should get the benefit of the doubt from us.
