Law: American heroes are arraigned for allegedly punching a terrorist in wartime. What happens to Tiger Woods isn't vital to our country's future. What happens to Matthew McCabe, Julio Huertas and Jonathan Keefe is.
People are more likely to recognize the names of Tiger's alleged bimbo eruptions than the names of these three Navy SEALs we sent into battle. They are not household names in a nation consumed with Climate Gate, the public option and the antics of billionaire athletes.
An administration consumed with apologies has said the architect of 9/11's massacre, Khalid Sheik Mohammed, must be given all the constitutional rights and privileges of the Americans he murdered. Our justice system, we are told, must be an example to the world, as if that will impress jihadists making IEDs in some faraway hideout.

Lose the attitude.
Green Beanies, Delta, Rangers and Force Recon apply for the SEALs regularly. If they don't make it, they're none the worse off when they return to their units.
Most are better after.

Apples and oranges. You’re comparing completely different units with completely different capabilities. They are ALL elite.
And you can lose the attitude, smart-ass.

The Army ran out of DA Form 4187s when that school opened.

Thanks for the skinny...
Damn...I'd sure like a chance to shoot Soviet nuts and bolts in outer space. Sounds like a hoot!

Unbelievable. SEALs are caught being turds and everyone on Free Republic is right there defending them...because they are...seals. Anyone who defends these guys should really do an examine their values.I'll defend them any time. These charges aren't about lying to your chain of command, they are about political correctness gone wild and a military turned into a police force by the Dear Leader.
These guys are warriors, not cops. We pay them to kill bad guys, not pat them on their ass and read them their Miranda rights.
You're part of the problem pal. And the Army officer who initiated these charges should have his ass kicked.

The seals are putting their lives on the line for their country.
I find that willingness to die for what America stands for is about as honorable and self sacrificing act any Patriot could make.
So we know something about the Seals - they are devoted to protecting us. They have heart. They define heroism.
And we know something about you.
You're desperately lonely, and the only avenue for interaction and recognition, is to make an ass of yourself, spamming this thread and calling them turds.
Pick yourself up out of the gutter, find Jesus, and ask Him how to redeem yourself.

I like making a moslem terrorist suffer. I like putting the suffering on every TV and Movie and Laptop Screen and Front Page ....on the stinking ARAB STREET, 24/7. I like the idea of Nuking Iran.
I liked Dresen and Tokoyo when they were firebombed. I liked even more, much more when Hiroshima and Nagasaki were melted down with NUKES.
Islam is evil and IT is the enemy. We need to destroy it before it destroys US. We have the ability to destroy it now, in ten years we will not, but it will have the ability to destroy US and it will. There will be no warning then, we need not give one now. This is war and surprise and civilian casualites are an integral part of it.
Nuke Iran.

"Unbelievable. SEALs are caught being turds and everyone on Free Republic is right there defending them...because they are...seals. Anyone who defends these guys should really do an examine their values."
Globalist, free traitor constituents shouldn't be pushing their politicians in civilian states and in the military to have such dog-and-pony judicial shows against our better, lower ranking military personnel. Those are not good and proper ways to impress "trading partners." As with the sponsored complacency propaganda for years about how China's propped-up economy is always about to crash, such lies only send the prices of certain commodities higher and cause shortages.
It's wrong for our rotten business, political and academic leadership (globalists, free traitor interests) to push JAG offices to charge our fighting men with crimes in such frivolous cases. Such misguided policy will come back to bite the proud folks who wouldn't do military service as enlisted soldiers, Marines or sailors themselves.

"Nuke Iran."
Agreed. Let's avoid buying anything unnecessary and become more self-sufficient every year. That way, we can starve the anti-defense beast, and replace her with real leaders. With men like Duncan Hunter in charge, we would definitely have a strong defense.

It’s a matter of degree. One seal sukcker punched the guy, and now three guys are going on trial for federal crimes. The libs talk about having too many people in jail. Yeah, because they are putting them there.
To: raptor22
Does anyone know what the maximum sentence is for the alleged crime of which they’re being accused?
To: labusiness
And that is why you are not worthy of being in the military let alone a seal.,p> How would you know?
