The Fight to Free Army Sgt Derrick Miller – Imprisoned for Life for Saving Lives
The Gateway Pundit ^ | June 21, 2017 | Carter

Posted on 06/22/2017 6:17:39 PM PDT by seekthetruth

Sgt. Miller is serving life in prison with the opportunity for parole in 2020. Sgt. Miller shot and killed an Afghan civilian following the civilian attempting to grab Sgt. Miller’s weapon during a period of intense questioning. The Afghan civilian was a suspected insurgent that was walking through Sgt. Miller’s “platoon defensive perimeter observing their defensive positions”.

Following the shooting, Sgt. Miller’s unit was implicated in a complex attack and Afghan National Army fighters that were assigned to stay with the platoon disappeared prior to the onset of the firefight. They hid behind a building.

Sgt. Miller was embroiled in a firefight the night he killed the Afghan man. The Afghan man was an insurgent and yet no one in the military wants to say this and directly confront the duplicitous Afghanis. The firefight was not instigated by American soldiers; the firefight was meant to kill American soldiers, and Afghan National Army fighters were nowhere to be found.

He was “railroaded” by the dumbass odongo muslim administration.
He should be pardoned and allowed to go home.

Look closely at the powers that exist in this nation and who is fought for and who is not fought for.

Look now at the Congressional Black Caucus, a poor excuse for a representative caucus within Congress, and beyond this, they are execrable for refusing to fight for Sgt. Miller, a black soldier that saved countless lives.

Leave it to the Congressional Black Caucus to be silent.

They are pathetic cowards in the pocket of much more powerful Democrats, and we all know how so many Democrats look at our soldiers.


Isn't that big mouth Elijah Cummings from Maryland?

I am not a military person and do not know all the ins & outs, but it sure sounds like this man is being unjustly held. Are military just supposed to let the enemy grab their guns????? Is so that is insane.

Very surprised that the Congressional Black Caucus is not behind him.

He should be pardoned, conviction expunged, bumped two pay grades and then be allowed to retire if he wants to. I suspect he would want to be part of Trump’s military though.

MAGA
