Army Command Recommends Green Beret Be Kicked Out for Confronting Afghan Child Rapist
Washington Free Beacon ^ | 1/27/16 | Morgan Chalfant

Posted on 01/28/2016 1:04:35 PM PST by ifinnegan

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.

If I were president, I would invite Sgt. Martland to the president, shake his hand, and give him a commission in the Army.

I didn’t say it was “just a hat”. To earn one, one had to complete at least Airborne School and the SF Qualification course, but most special operators earned many more qualifications over the course of their careers: Diver, Ranger School, Pathfinder, and many others, including foreign jump schools. I never objected to the term “operator”; everyone knew we didn’t answer phones for a living.

By not being surprised, I meant that the military has been sliding toward a more politically-correct system of discipline for a long, long time. Marching and running cadences we used 30 years ago were determined to be “offensive” and forbidden. There was a time when it was expected that soldiers would get into fights and we did. Both would be reprimanded and disciplined (non-judicial punishment/Article 15), but only a clear aggressor/instigator would be charged with assault. As I once told a commander in such a situation, “How do you expect me to defend my country if I’m not willing or able to defend myself?”

Basic training changed significantly, we started to get classes on diversity and were mandated to attend “sensing sessions” (psychological B.S.), women were admitted to the academies and standards lowered. I could go on, but you get the idea. It’s part of a changing society and an all-volunteer military in which only about one percent of the population has to make that kind of sacrifice for the remaining 99 percent.

The result? A highly-trained soldier who “pushes” a pedophile and rapist is kicked out of the Army. Don’t like it? Remember, it’s your Army, Air Force, Marine Corps, Navy too...

my oldest said he wanted marines because of how the Army is. Since being with them he said the marines always make fun of the Army now and how many of their so called men are just pansies.

Not all individual citizens have, but we as a people have turned against God. “We” slaughter His children and celebrate sins that cry out to Heaven for vengeance. “We” have rejected The Father and The Son and The Holy Spirit, and erected Government Almighty as our ‘god. In return, The Lord has turned “us” over to “our” wickedness. 0bama and all his filth, Hillary and all her depravity, even the vile backbiting between Trump supporters and Cruz supporters on this forum ... God has given “us” what “we” asked for. This present darkness will not pass until we, all of us, return to God. Voting is a comparatively minor thing; repentance and conversion are utterly necessary.

I am going to say something very politically incorrect. most of those claiming to be homosexuals are not homosexuals they are actually pedophiles hiding behind homosexuality. I think about half of those who now claim to be homosexuals have an interest in younger boys. the other half are actually homosexuals that have no interest in kids.

I think if you look within human resources at the pentagon you well find what is best termed the gay mafia running the place. this is only a guess and I have nothing to back me up on this . would love to heat from any freepers that worked in human resources at the pentagon.

Yes it is our Army, Air Force, Marine Corps, Navy too...I just spoke to Reed's office, the polite young woman said she knew nothing about the Green Beret but would, as I asked, tell Reed about my call. McCain's office was more of the same but the polite young woman did know something about this...ALL, let your elected hear your outrage. Thanks.

>>This is our fundamental transformation.

 

"According to my opinion, and the opinions of many defectors of my caliber, only about 15% of time, money, and manpower is spent on espionage as such. The other 85% is a slow process which we call either ideological subversion, active measures, or psychological warfare. What it basically means is: to change the perception of reality of every American that despite of the abundance of information no one is able to come to sensible conclusions in the interest of defending themselves, their families, their community, and their country.
 
It's a great brainwashing process which goes very slow and is divided into four basic stages.
 
The first stage being "demoralization".
 
It takes from 15 to 20 years to demoralize a nation. Why that many years? Because this is the minimum number of years required to educate one generation of students in the country of your enemy exposed to the ideology of [their] enemy. In other words, Marxism-Leninism ideology is being pumped into the soft heads of at least 3 generation of American students without being challenged or counterbalanced by the basic values of Americanism; American patriotism.
 "
--KGB Defector Yuri Bezmenov
--Soviet Subversion of the Free Press (Ideological subversion, Destabilization, CRISIS - and the KGB)
 
Yep.

40 years ago it would not have been surprising to read that an accountant or shopkeeper kicked this pedophiles ass. Today it is somehow wrong for a soldier to do so. I can’t understand this nation anymore.

Seem that this situation is covered by the Geneva Convention IV which the US is a signatory.

ART. 27.

--Protected persons (Article 4 Definition of protected persons See Below ) are entitled, in all circumstances, to respect for their persons, their honour, their family rights, their religious convictions and practices, and their manners and customs.

They shall at all times be humanely treated, and shall be protected especially against all acts of violence or threats thereof and against insults and public curiosity.

Women shall be especially protected against any attack on their honour, in particular against rape, enforced prostitution, or any form of indecent assault.

Without prejudice to the provisions relating to their state of health, age and sex, all protected persons shall be treated with the same consideration by the Party to the conflict in whose power they are, without any adverse distinction based, in particular, on race, religion or political opinion.

However, the Parties to the conflict may take such measures of control and security in regard to protected persons as may be necessary as a result of the war.

ART. 4.

--Persons protected by the Convention are those who at a given moment and in any manner whatsoever, find themselves, in case of a conflict or occupation, in the hands of persons a Party to the conflict or Occupying Power of which they are not nationals. Nationals of a State which is not bound by the Convention are not protected by it.

Not just Muslim rapists.
Earlier this week he moved to ban solitary confinement for juveniles within the justice system.

No more protective custody allowed, just dump all the kids in the general prison population.

The Chicago bathhouse president is providing his homies in the pen with young prison bitches.
