Abed should consider himself lucky to have survived. If the SEAL’s had wanted to harm him, he’d be dead.

If this is allowed to go forward, it will happen every day -= these terrorists are TAUGHT to do this - bash his own lip against the wall or whatever and then charge the soldiers.

And look at how successful it can be. most of you are willing to believe they slugged him, even though ‘so what’

As it is, with the Traitor in Chief new rules, if our soldiers capture a terrorist, they have to read them Miranda rights! Insanity.

My grandson,on 2 occasions, snuck up on a Taliban - one who had just been shooting at the patrol and another who had a patrol pinned down, shooting from a window.

My g’son snuck up on them - for ex. the one in house - he snuck in the back door, snuck up on the guy, put a knife to his throat and addressed him in pastu - ‘drop it or you die.” - He then walked out the front door, with the scum in front of him...who had peed his pants.

Under the new rules, he'd be court martialed for threatening him and scaring him to the point of wetting his pants?

Instead of congratulating the SEALS for a job well done, we are going to ruin their careers and throw them in jail. How f***ing stupid can we be?

I agree. First send all the military lawyers without any infantry, Marines or even Blackwaters, and let them solve the problems. Heh, heh, if they all get cornholed and otherwise abused, send some more lawyers, and after a while we will run out of lawyers. Pity it would be, wouldn’t it? Then we’d have to draft media and send them, and they would do about as well as the lawyers did, and then we would eventually run out of them. Then we could send the military who would kick butt and take names. Future lawyers and media might learn something from that scenario. If they did not, we could repeat it.

How stupid? Good question. Glad you asked. Unfortunately, I don’t have the answer since I have become PC challenged.

But, I will say this is typical of how we treat our troops in political wars. We expect them to pop a cap in the enemies head, but, consider it a war crime if they somehow bloody his lip in the process.

SEALS should not face any issue here whatsoever.

Dittos to everything else said in this thread. Can't wait until Obama is deported back to Kenya.

There is a silver lining to this.

This jackass in the White House is self-destructing. There soon will not be a decent American who will not loathe this dirt-bag, Obama, for his anti-American hatred of everything good and honorable about the United States of America.

History will record Obama as a scourge upon America and future generations will be repulsed by the very mention of his name.

Having had 24 hours to digest this news, I am more outraged than ever. I will contact my US Senator on Monday. I recommend everyone do the same, put an immediate stop to this.

Supposedly the terrorist, Abed, complained of the "abuse" AFTER being transferred to the Iraqis. The Iraqis then transferred him back to the Americans, his "abusers". Now tell me how that makes any sense.

This is the first I had heard this loser was caught. Instead of celebrating his capture, we are hearing about his "abuse", whether it was a bloody lip, being punched in the gut, or a stubbed toe.

According to the Navy Times, SEALs charged in alleged assault of detainee

it was Army Maj. Gen. Charles Cleveland, SOCCent commander, who preferred the charges against the SEALs and will serve as the convening authority as the cases proceed to court-martial....

SHAME on Mag. Gen Charles Cleveland.
