SFC Martland was set to be expelled from the United States Army today because he was willing to defend a child from horrific sexual abuse and torture. The Army’s announced extension today is most certainly welcome news.
...
the Army says it is extending the deadline in SFC Martland’s case until May 1st saying the “extension was granted to allow consideration of his application to correct his records by the Army Board for Correction of Military Records.” ..
SFC Martland, a Green Beret Bronze Star recipient, faces expulsion from the Army because he intervened to protect a child from an Afghan child-rapist – an Afghan commander allied with U.S. forces.
After the young boy’s mother begged for help, SFC Martland and his superior officer, Captain (CPT) Daniel Quinn, confronted the man. The child-predator admitted the crime then laughed. “It’s just a boy,” he mocked. Deciding to send the man – and others – a message, the soldiers forcibly removed the predator from the base. The message was clear: That sickening behavior will not be tolerated by our supposed allies.
But, unfortunately, Army brass did tolerate it, and even worse the military took action against the protector, not the predator. Now, SFC Martland awaits his fate.
He is the consummate American warrior, hailed by those he served with as a man of honor, a soldier’s soldier. He was decorated for his valor, respected for his courage, and feared by the enemy. This war hero is set to be thrown out of the Army for protecting a young child from grotesque sexual abuse.
Maybe, just maybe, common sense is beginning to breach the bureaucratic firewall.

Common sense? Today??? No, they just kicked the can down the road. The guy is toast. Sodomy is a sacrament.
It is atrocities such as this that will bring God’s judgment down on our nation. Every one of the brass that persecuted this brave soldier should be court martialed.this case should become part of the presidential campaign. Our present commander in chief obviously sides with the child-raping Muslim, but we should make certain his successor should not be so evil.
Hypocrites. ROH. (Religion of Hypocrisy) So sexually
repressed they’re fairly constipated.
He should walk out the gate to find tens of thousands of citizens cheering him. It would be what DC calls “bad optics”. The Obama Army would be humiliated.
How could something like this be organized right outside the base? Maybe this should get to Trump, he has the balls to do it.
As I recall, Joe Biden gave a speech at the Oscars about rape and stopping it. This person was the first thing I thought of during his speech. Too bad somebody couldn’t have called him on it on live TV.
