Army Human Resources Command has recommended that the Green Beret who confronted an Afghan police commander for raping a young boy be kicked out of the service.
Rep. Duncan Hunter (R., Calif.), who has pushed back against the Army’s decision to punish Sgt. 1st Class Charles Martland, revealed the development in a letter to Sen. Pat Roberts (R., Kansas) Wednesday.
“Recently, a decision within Army Human Resources Command recommended that the Army uphold the judgment that Martland be removed from service, although a final decision has yet to be made about his future,†Hunter wrote.
While serving in Afghanistan in 2011, Martland and another soldier confronted an Afghan Local police commander at an outpost for kidnapping and repeatedly raping a young boy, reportedly throwing the man to the ground and physically ejecting him from the base.

I think the green beret administration needs to be kicked out
who is keeping track of who the enemy commanders are within our troops?
While I don’t necessarily disagree with your sentiment, the Marines aren’t immune form this idiocy either. Witness the situation of USMC Major Jason Brezler:
“...a decorated Marine officer who has deployed four times faces being discharged from the corps he loves because he used his personal email to send a single classified report as an urgent warning when lives were at stake.”

how did the rapist not manage to get lost in the desert?
it woulda been a darn shame
calling all Patriots out there to rise up and stop this utter idiocy and protect the Green Beret.
Trump! Where are you when we need you??!! that is not a joke.
Perfectly stated. I feel a disgust beyond words.
How bad can this extended bad dream get? What the hell happened to our country? The entire thing needs to be flushed.
Someone very close to me is a Green Beret. I don’t think he would be amused if I said it was just a hat.
I don’t follow your comment about not being surprised. Are you saying that traditional policy passed down through the ages would have such a soldier kicked out? Or are you saying Obama’s ‘tone’ and policies are of the sort that fine soldiers are kicked out for seemingly reasonable reactions?
I can see at most a reprimand, but kicked out?
To carry on ,sorry.
Cross dressers where marines etc have stated it does not work and yet the White House ignores this.
Homosexual officers now taking the place of officers being removed form their post or forced to step down.
Homosexual flags being allowed to fly in Afghanistan, but Holy Bibles are thrown away as not to insult muslims.
A real military man stands up against these child molsetors and he is punished.
Where is the great fair an balanced pfftt FOX and other media outlets?
Ah yes they won’t cover it due to them wanting this.
All of it needs to be overturned
Once you see that teamobama is on the side of sharia......it all makes sense.
This is why the ‘war on terror’ is a joke!
Well, trite or not, I’m sure you know more about the traditions of Special Forces than I do.
“When Fools Lead.. Nations Fall.”
More like Evil Fools.
There. I corrected that statement.
War Is Peace
America Is Evil
Freedom Is Slavery
Ignorance Is Strength
Criminals Are Victims
Citizens Are Criminals
Savagry Is Tolerance
Peace Keepers Are Gangsters
..DH Jr is doing the same kind of battle that his dad did over Border Patrol agents Compean and Ramos, who were also railroaded...
It is more likely that God will rain fire on our now degenerate nation. God have mercy on us and regenerate our behavior.
Hold on - Trump is coming!
“Confronting”?
I thought the rapist was physically thrashed. :-)
That’s mild. I’d have found a way to shoot him dead.
Trump! Where are you when we need you??!! that is not a joke.
**********************************************
The best thing Trump could do for this soon to be “bad conduct discharged” soldier is offer him permanent employment in one of his many business enterprises.
The soldier may be hard pressed to find one otherwise.
I can’t even express the totality of my disgust. I am concerned for my son, a principled young man (1ST LT USMC) when I reflect that God will not protect a U.S. military which has abandoned Him.
