In a stunning reversal, the U.S. Army decided late Thursday to retain a decorated Green Beret it had planned to kick out after he physically confronted a local Afghan commander accused of raping a boy over the course of many days.
*snip*
"In SFC Martland’s case, the Army Board for Correction of Military Records determination modified a portion of one of SFC Martland’s evaluation reports and removed him from the QMP list, which will allow him to remain in the Army," said Lt. Col. Jerry Pionk.

Sounds like the Bath House administration was siding with the child rapist. How is this surprising? In Bath House’s world, everything is topsy-turvy. Up is down. Down is up. Left is right and right is left.

Not very 0bama-like. He seems to favor the pedophiles and NAMBLA lovers like his Safe Schools Czar. Who would name a homo pedophile believer as a Safe School Czar? A complete idiot or an evil person. I think the second is correct.

“Martland’s former Special Forces team leader, now out of the Army and living in New York said the Army is a better place with Martland in its ranks.”
That’s exactly right. I’m so relieved the Army did the right thing for this fine and honorable soldier.

Finally some common sense comes from the PC military, possibly because of the heat their taking over this.

The soldier ought to quit the Army ASAP with an honorable discharge, while its on the table. I know that I would, before they change their minds.

A Special Ops Sergeant First Class probably has 12 years plus or minus.
He throws all that away regarding retirement and he’s so close and there’s no partial qualification. You qualify or you don’t.

Kudos to Harvey Keitel, a righteous Jew and an American patriot, for coming to the defense of a fellow Marine. Applause and Semper Fi!

Is there a story behind “Bath House” or is it just for alliteration Bath House Barry?

Also some fear Trump getting elected and transferring the cowards who hassled the Green Beret to duty in Barrow, Alaska
