Amen to that!
He saved lives and did a service to our nation and this is what he got in return from the PC brass, it’s disgraceful.

IIRC, the mini-series Band of Brothers, based on real people (some who are still alive) and actual events, showed the American soldiers killing German soldiers trying to surrender or had surrendered. I don't recall any of them being brought up on charges.

He’s the guy you want with you in a firefight. There’s no doubt which side he’s on!
To: GraceG
Savage has won gloating rights on this one. He’s kept the story alive all these years, and raised money to cover Behenna’s legal costs.

You know the difference between Behenna and Alan West?
West could have but didn’t pull the trigger and only got drummed out of the military and not put in prison.
But both put the lives of their troops before those of the enemy. I’d go to war with either of them.

Thanks for the ping, xzins. It's about time! A few familiar names on his dad's T-shirt.
Congratulations Michael Behenna!
