Navy SEALs have secretly captured one of the most wanted terrorists in Iraq — the alleged mastermind of the murder and mutilation of four Blackwater USA security guards in Fallujah in 2004. And three of the SEALs who captured him are now facing criminal charges, sources told FoxNews.com.

Loved that flick. Paxton rocked. So many great quotes. “I hate to keep you up to date on current events but we just got our asses kicked.” Great, great, flick.

When a minor infraction is committed, you go up in front of a Navy Captain for judgement. If the person doesn’t like that, he can request a Court Martial which consists of other officers.

Before the holiday weekend ends, I expect to publish a Navy SEAL’s first-person account of what it’s like to serve in today’s politically-charged environment.

Written by a now-retired unsung hero who’s served several tours of duty in Iraq, Afghanistan and other locations, I expect it to reveal the truth about what three Navy SEALS must be thinking today after finding out they’ll face assault charges.

Stay tuned!

This may be the final straw....

There is only one work I can think of for this...perverse. Is our government insane or what?

"There are going to be a lot of ticked off former special operators in the general population in the coming years. Something to factor into the equation." - T.M.

T.M., I've never disagreed with you so far as I can remember - in fact, this is not so much a disagreement as it is a very slight correction...

There are already a lot of ticked off former special operators... We've been ticked off for some time - you're one of them, and I know you didn't just get ticked off recently about the state of the Republic. I think you may have meant to say "a lot more ticked off former special operators..."

I met Scott Helvetson once... Appeared to me to be a squared away operator. I didn't know him personally, but I don't think I misjudged him. Some folks seemed to have a problem with his making PT videos and capitalizing on his credentials... I think they were just jealous that they couldn't do the same thing. I've never had a problem with using one's past to make a comfortable future - I still do it and earn a living that way.

If these men get anything other than complete dismissal, I think everyone with an 18 series MOS (current, former or retired, regardless of branch) should raise so much hell that we put a fear of retribution into these "politicians" that wear a uniform, and the elected politicians that push actions such as this.

Isn’t there a general rule, dating from antiquity, applicable to rulers, that goes to the effect of “Keep the army fed, paid, and happy with you”?

“Two worthless senators”. Hmmmm.

I realize that statement could apply to many states, but are you perhaps in Virginia?

I think obama it also. Maybe not specifuly that, but,he has ordered his minions to do anything and everything they can to destroy of the United States and its institutions. Why? Simple.Destroy the morale and you destroy the institution.

To illustrate: The State of Florida is trying to put the farmers out of business. They, the State, does’t tell they can’t farm any longer, instead, each year they impose more more rules and regulations on them until it reaches the point that they can’t abide by them and go broke.

This is the same concept that obama and his desciples are using on the military. Soon the best will leave, only those devoted to him will remain. Then he will begin rounding up those in citizen land who oppose him.

Such arrogance and misdirected indignation will come to no good end for those bringing charges against these SEALs. It's only because men like these SEALs PERMIT these things to happen, that they even happen. They have enough restraint and discipline to struggle through this sort of bullshit and IF those who are meddling with them knew this, they would keep a wide berth around them.

If men like our SEALs and others like them ever decide that enough is enough, nobody in this nation is going to be happy; least of all the criminals in D.C.

Many of us here know the value in bringing in criminals alive. But this incident gives good logic to just having an "oopsie" during the OP where the perp commits suicide during retrieval.
