the current prosecution of soldiers is an ACTIVE action to demoralize our combat effectiveness at the moment of combat. By always having in the back of your mind whether to be an aggressively involved combatant or just sit back, cover your a$$ and hope it all turns out alright is the difference between a warrior and some needle d*cked, pencil pushing REMF.
Of course that's only my opinon and you mileage may differ ....etc. Your other point is correct , I have NO CLUE as to how the Army is as a miltary profession. I wasn't in the Army or a lawyer or an officer.
Prosecuting SEALs such as these is a complete waste of time, men and tax dollars. These needless prosecutions also endanger our men on the ground by putting a JAG behind every movement they make. Not literally necessarily, just psychologically. Either way it risks our troops lives and hurts moral and mission.
Obama has only made the problem 1000 times worse with his special treatment and appeasement of America's enemies. Which is directly connected with this sadist who killed our American contractors feeling free to throw accusations at and going after our SEALs indirectly by trying to cause problems for them. Trying to get even with the Men who captured his sick jihadist arse. He's lucky he's alive! He should be bowing down and kissing these SEAL's merciful feet.
The most unbelievable part of it all is that anyone in the Navy played along with his sick game and tried to punish our men for doing their job and using a military court to do it. Enabling at it worst! They are only encouraging more of this crap in the future from the enemies of America and our Troops.
P.S. They just aquited the second accused SEAL, Petty Officer 2nd Class Jonathan Keefe, has been aquited per FOX news. Good!

Nevertheless, there is a massive difference between the way things are and the way things should be. [Rush wrote a book to that effect, I believe.] Thus, one adapts and trades in his horse for an MBT and does his job to the best of his ability or one gets the f**k out.
It is that simple.
