A U.S. military jury cleared a Navy SEAL Thursday of failing to prevent the beating of an Iraqi prisoner suspected of masterminding a 2004 attack that killed four American security contractors.

The contractors' burned bodies were dragged through the streets and two were hanged from a bridge over the Euphrates river in the former insurgent hotbed of Fallujah, in what became a turning point in the Iraq war

Our soldiers are heroes.

Our leaders are cowards.

No clue. WRT the SEALs, that’s a Jack Bauer/ Chuck Norris joke — the SEALs can use whatever phrase they want!

It's an outrage that they were even on trial for this! Please don't post the pictures of the bodies; seeing it once in a lifetime was MORE than enough!

Corruptocrats. This shame court maritals are just to make the ass in the Whinehouse look good to the sorry ass muslims - see in America, if you claim abuse in our custody, will we try you even a military court, as a muslim speaking to a muslim your honor will be upheld and be cursed the infidel whom forsook your honor.

Can anyone imagine something like this taking place with our troops in the 1920s? 30s? 40s? 50s? 60s?

I mean seriously. The judicial system has no business in military field operations. Terrorists should be killed on the spot from here on out. We will just have to depend on the lazy ass CIA to work harder on ground intel.

We need to show the barbaric truth of what happened just like in the attacks of 9/11. Otherwise it's just words on a page.

True. But my mind was made up the first time I saw it.

Some, particularly libs and lefties, need occasional reminders. And there are lots who lurk here.
