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.

Thanks.

We know that. But the generals should be disobeying the C in C in this case.

They should be disobeying as a group or resigning as a group. Not just bending over and taking it from Obama.

We have too many politicians who wear officer’s uniforms. They would rather do what is politically expedient rather than what is right.

I knew an officer who was in Afghanistan several years ago. He told me that child rape of boys was very common among the Afghans, also corruption, theft, dishonesty, and hatred of women.

He almost got in trouble because he and some other US military stopped several Afghans from torturing a dog.

Is there an MOS for bacha bazi yet?

"If I am captured, I will continue to resist by all means available. I will make every effort to escape
and aid others to escape. I will accept neither parole nor special favors from the enemy."

Shoot! Obambi would like nothing better than to have a bunch of men’s bare butts before him. It would excite him.
