If i read the article correctly,one terrorist/sadistic mass murderer claims he was punched while in captivity and 3 navy seals who deny the allegation may face court martial?This is a travesty.

The one good thing about this sort of incident is that when the “awkward time” is over, it will help military members, if previously wavering, decide which fork of the road to take.

" The four Blackwater agents were transporting supplies for a catering company when they were ambushed and killed by gunfire and grenades. Insurgents burned the bodies and dragged them through the city. They hanged two of the bodies on a bridge over the Euphrates River for the world press to photograph. "

Ahmed Hashim Abed, whom the military code-named "Objective Amber," told investigators he was punched by his captors — and he had the bloody lip to prove it.

Let's review...

four Blackwater agents were ambushed and killed by gunfire and grenades... burned the bodies and dragged them through the city... hanged two of the bodies on a bridge over the Euphrates River...

Are we living in the freakin twilight zone? I mean I am just flabbergasted... Assault? I guess just because it was some Black water mercs he will get off with a light hand slapping. WHAT IS GOING ON??!

The convening authority who preferred these charges is Army Major General Charles Cleveland according to the Navy Times, SEALs charged in alleged assault of detainee .

Here is Maj Gen Charles Cleveland's statement when the Special Ops opened their headquarters this summer, Special Ops Command opens new headquarters

General Cleveland said he hoped members of SOCCENT would look upon their new facility as a "home away from home."

"I know it can't replace your family and all that waits for you back home," he said. "I understand the hardships of serving the nation overseas in a time of war, and I want to publicly thank you and your families for the sacrifices you've made in the name of freedom."

Hey, Maj Gen Cleveland, is this how you thank your men for their service? Shame on Maj Gen Charles Cleveland.

Stop taking prisoners and we won't have to worry about Gitmos and trials in New York.

I read this book one time that said it was, like, really, really bad to call good things evil, and to call evil things good—I think it was called, like, the Bible or something.......Should we , like, you know, worry about that or whatever, here in America these days?

The terrorist and those persecuting the SEALS need a shiny boot up the ass. This makes a good case for taking no prisoners. Now, why would I want to join the military these days? I hope the volunteers dry up until the guv’ment has to reinstate the draft — that should earn BO some brownie points.

I’ve had just about all this $hit I intend to take!

The Godd@mned communists and pu$$ies that infest our Nation’s leadership make me want to hurl.

[Electric Graffiti]

Holy crap....Rush has on a Navy Seal right now and he says this is payback for the Seals actions against the Somali pirates. This is his second call from a Navy officer and these guys sound PISSED off. As well they should be.

Statement: "Navy SEALs Face Assault Charges for Capturing Most-Wanted Terrorist"

Response: With this group, currently in office, one would expect nothing less than the prosecution of American troops for killing, wounding and capturing the enemy.

[BobMcCartyWrites]

Before the holiday weekend ends, I expect to publish a Navy SEAL’s first-person account of what it’s like to serve in today’s politically-charged environment.

Written by a now-retired unsung hero who’s served several tours of duty in Iraq, Afghanistan and other locations, I expect it to reveal the truth about what three Navy SEALS must be thinking today after finding out they’ll face assault charges.

Stay tuned!

[BuffaloJack]

> The three SEALs will be arraigned separately on Dec. 7.
December 7th, a day that will live in infamy.

[samtheman]

I hope we learn the names of all the JAGs who prosecute these fine warriors.
