I'm not a soldier, but I don't think this is an issue of being politically correct. It's an issue of military discipline. The crime the man committed—killing four American civilian security guards, mutilating their bodies, and then celebrating while his followers strung their dead bodies over a road way—is completely disproportionate to his beef with the US military—receiving a fat lip from a navy seal. Nonetheless, the seals have to maintain discipline. They could have been given a rebuke, but they've challenged that and asked for a court martial trial. I hope they are acquitted, but the officer in charge probably had no choice but to proceed with the trial as a matter of military discipline.
This is a war. Playing footsies is a dangerous thing. Giving an asshole a fat lip is nothing. Patton is rolling over in his grave over this.
I can’t imageine AHA being a submissive goody-goody and the marines just punching him for the heck of it. In my scenarion, AHA probably kicked up some kind of verbal and physical fight and the marines had to subdue him...
You’re wrong!! This is more PC and it is getting our guys killed. A fat lip means the Seals handled this POS with kid gloves. Screw this, they should have shot him on the spot.
I’m sick and tired of our PC policies and I don’t think talking will do any good with Obama and his Progressives.
Et tu?
The seals say they didn't do it. (which is why they wouldn't take the easy way out.)
The barbarian says they did,
One is lying.
Why do YOU and so many others believe the inhuman scum over the seals?
No wonder this country is in such shambles.
They did show extreme discipline, he was taken ALIVE!
Remember, one of those Blackwater contractors was a SEAL, once a SEAL always a SEAL.
