Hate to say it, but the SEALs deserve punishment if they acted unprofessionally in their duties. I just hope the guy resisted in order to justify the punch.

The inevitable result with the treasonous Kenyan Poseur and his policies is that no prisoners will be taken. This traitor muct be gotten out of office.

They should have killed the bastard and left it at that.

It would be nice to have full information on this story ... we're only getting it from one side, though.

[Shimmer1]

There’s NO evidence that they acted unprofessionally. This terrorist could have smacked his face against the wall himself, or maybe he fought and they had to subdue him.
Notice the military automatically believes the terrorist and charges our own men. How putrid.

In response to your comment I hate to say it but it is the thought process from people like you that the socialist communists use to try and tie the hands of our military behind their backs. This is an ungoing saga started in Viet Nam where the socialist politicians applied rules of engagement upon the military to turn them into world policemen. It all comes down to if you are going to fight a war and win, you fight the war. Use all tools and measures necessary to accomplish victory. If not you become the political paper tiger the Obama and the socialist communists would like our military to be in order to further their agenda. So the American people need to decide whether we are going to allow the communists in Washington to continue to degrade and humiliate our military while continuing to kiss the asses of the enemy that fill their coffers, or draw the line and demand victory.

Obviously you never severed. This is horse $hit. The SEALs are a military force and not a police force.

“Hate to say it, but the SEALs deserve punishment if they acted unprofessionally in their duties. I just hope the guy resisted in order to justify the punch.”

When you start up the prosecution machinery against your own guys on so slight, so insignificant a thing as this then I’d say your tired of being a great nation.

This is fantastic anti-obama propaganda. Stories like this are the best thing that can happen...

What???!!! First, noone knows if the dude was ever punched. This is trick that every terrorist knows. Allege abuse; use the military's ROE's against them.

Second, the terrorist was in multiple hands, SEALs, Iraqi's, then on to the US Green Zone. Any "punch" could have happened by the Iraqis or by his own efforts.

Third, you think the SEALs deserve punishment if they punched the terrorist who masterminded shooting, grenading, dragging dead bodies through the streets, burning them, then hanging two of the four mutilated bodies from a bridge to show the world????!!!!!!

I don't.

"Hate to say it, but the SEALs deserve punishment if they acted unprofessionally in their duties. I just hope the guy resisted in order to justify the punch."

I sincerely doubt this terrorist came quietly. And if ONE Seal acted unprofessionally and punched the guy, I do not see the indictments against them as JUST punishment.

It seems to me that commanders are of the Wesley Clark, John Murtha, John Kerry persuasion, and are too quick to throw the book.

It would take more time and space than is available to tell you just how little I care if this thug got a belly punch and/or a split lip in the rough and tumble of capture.

Your statement reflects the epitome of cluelessness.

Professionalism for a warrior is to friggin KILL the enemy. As it is, they were probably having to follow inane orders that ultimately lead to the likes of KSM and crew being given a trial as if they were upstanding citizens.

We have become a country of wussies because of attitudes like this... the terrorists know it, and are laughing.

"Hate to say it, but the SEALs deserve punishment if they acted unprofessionally in their duties. I just hope the guy resisted in order to justify the punch. "

ohhhh me toooooooo.

And I hope he gets a nice corner cell, with a view, and flowers.

I'm sure obama will come in personally to bow and apologize because one of his fellow muslims didn't get his Miranda rights read to him.

Maybe they'll acquit him and assign him to be a personal assistant to Major hasan after they both get off on technicalities.

I mean, it doesn't mean a thing that these people are out to wipe out everyone but muslims, so we should take those naughty little Seals and give them at least 30 years hard labor at Leavenworth.

/sarcasm


As far as "acting unprofessional"...they acted entirely within their profession, capturing and killing terrorists. People get worse injuries in a high school football game than this guy got.

This is not military discipline, it's POLITICAL CORRECTNESS gone amuck.

[SVTCobra03]

My guess is that you have never been in combat.

They brought the animal in alive, he could have been dead.

One word: Haditha

[Snurple]

For (allegedly) popping this idiot in the mouth??????????

On what planet do you reside...better yet...what kind of dope are you smoking?

[jschwartz]

Even if I agreed with you and I don’t, it is a matter of national security that it be handled under the table out of the sight of the enemy. I will say that a legally hamstrung military cannot win a war. It simply can’t be done. It gives the enemy the upper hand. Tell lies, hide in mosques and schools, inflitrate, accuse. We have not only been fighting a 6 month war for 9 years because of these idiotic rules of engagement, but it has also cost us 2-3,000 American lives. Other than that I think you have a savvy point.
