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 for their trouble, three of the SEALs, members of the Navy's elite commando unit, are now facing criminal charges, sources told FoxNews.com.
The three have refused non-judicial punishment called an admiral's mast and requested a trial by court-martial.
Ahmed Hashim Abed, whom the military code-named "Objective Amber," told investigators he was punched by his captors and he had the bloody lip to prove it.
Now, instead of being lauded for bringing to justice a high-value target, three of the SEAL commandos, all enlisted, face assault charges and have retained lawyers.

OUTRAGEOUS! LET’S HIT THE STREETS!!!!!!!!!
"Another three SEALs two officers and an enlisted sailor have been identified by investigators as witnesses but have not been charged."
I guess the only thing to do is let the politicians, lawyers and their ilk start fighting these wars.
How in the hell can the Field Commanders allow this crap to continue?
There has to be a SATIRE button somewhere on that story.
Good thing they requested Courts Martials, at least the proceedings will be somewhat public and you don’t have to worry about your own CO bowing down to pressure from above to convict you at mast....
MADNESS, SHEER MADNESS....
I thought he fell down and bloodied his nose
yeah that would work.
I think he hit himself, knowing what his enemie’s rules are.
Kill P.C.!
George is spinning in his grave.

Thank you so much for the link. You can count me in!
My son directed me to a website called anysoldier.com where
troops request needed items and post them on a board.
I’m currently working on a goody box for our soldiers stationed abroad. I know how much they appreciate everything they receive. And no one deserves it more than they do! :)
Mine also and he just turned 18. He understands what is happening and has friends that are in and telling him to wait. So it's off to trade school until the military leaders quit this PC and ROE crap...if it ever does.
I can’t stand this.
WHERE THE HELL IS THE MILITARY ON THIS?????????????
This is insane.
Our service personel are being demoralized by Marxist, traitor leaders of this once fine country. Total nonsense.
Let’s not resort to personal attacks and stick to the facts please. The insinuation is that our enemies are everywhere.
I served many years in the military (from JFK through Bill Clinton) and saw the sea changes which took place in the military because of Political Correctness. Few of them were good or healthy for the military, in the opinion of most of us who were there. But we all accepted it as part of the job and made the best of it.
My last 5 years I served under Bill Clinton. Most of those I served with either disliked or despised him. A few even thought he was OK. Even though he was bad, he was not that bad and nobody imagined it could get worse under an American President - after all, it was bad under Jimmy Carter, too.
Now this fraud shows up to show us just how wrong we were...
I can't imagine serving under this present Scumsucker-In-Chief. It must be especially discouraging for those who served under George W. Bush who for whatever his faults did not lack heart for his troops. It must be truly an ordeal to know Zer0 not only doesn't have your back, but he is busily and cheerily painting a bulls-eye on it!
I vividly and bitterly remember how we were sold out in Vietnam and the high price so many paid there only to be betrayed in the end. Now the same thing is happening in Afghanistan and eventually all around the globe.
This business with prosecuting the SEALs is an outrage, but is just part of the bigger picture of calumny which really kicked in during January, 2009!
"Our diversity, not only in our Army, but our country, is a strength" - Gen. George Casey, after the Ft Hood Massacre
Zer0 is a fool, and has surrounded himself with them.

It would be a military courts martial, I’m guessing.
The SEALS chose the trial by declining the Captains Mast.
It’s basically an “either or” type of situation.
Apparently they believe they have a good reason for declining the Non-judicial punishment and choosing a trial.

What the hell are we doing? You are telling me that our Navy Seals are now going to have to act like policeman, rather than the soldiers we have trained them to be? I cannot accept this.
America cannot and must not accept this! If this is the way we are going to fight a war, then we may as well give up, now.
A captured terrorist is complaining they got punched/abused whom are responsible for the murder, burning of their bodies, dragging through the streets mutilation of Blackwater USA security guards in 2004 and it is the brave men who caught him who are now going to be on trial because he says he got punched!
The enemy knows our military is now politically correct and they do not fear us.
Once the military is gone, it is all over.
the riffraff at home should be in federal prison.
