The US government recently traded 5 high ranking terrorists to have a deserter, Bowe Bergdahl, returned. They will not release the investigation results on Bergdahl.

At the same time, we’ve convicted a US Lieutenant, who in the split seconds of oncoming motorcycles decided to take them out. Second-guessing his call, higher ups tried him, convicted him, and sentenced him to 20 years in prison. US troops had been killed in that area, on that road, using the same tactics. Lorance had been briefed just that information. Follow-up research indicated that those Afghanis killed had a probable association with the terrorists.

So, Bowe Bergdahl free. 5 Terrorist Generals free.

Lt Clint Lorance imprisoned for 20 years.

What is even more frustrating is that NO congress critter so far has stepped up to defend this officer.

We send our best and bravest to clean up in the sewers but demand they be pure as the driven snow when they come back.
That is not possible.
The country send our young men into war where friend and foe are almost indistinguishable and expect exactly zero collateral damage.
That too is not possible.
In this case the shooting looks quite justified but the country and the brass are not protecting our men, we are stabbing them in the back.
Disgraceful!

In early 2009, the Obama administration authorized the implementation of the COIN (Counter-Insurgent) strategy...and over the next five years, the U.S. death toll nearly tripled.

The ROE for the US Military in foreign wars and the ROE for US police in America - are backwards.

I'm thinking that's not a coincidence.

Better to be judged by twelve, than carried out by six. He made the right call. We MUST defend him.
