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.

Thank you both for your posts, 1st Lt Lorance needs all the support he can get.

0bama and the ROE he’s responsible for in Afghanistan absolutely did not support our military people putting their lives on the line for us all. The numbers of casualties since he’s been in office don’t lie, he talks like he supports the troops but like everything else that comes out of his mouth it’s just lies.

Consider this startling statistic from Col. Allen West's website: "In the first seven-plus years of war in Afghanistan (October 2001 – December 2008) we lost 630 U.S. soldiers. 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. Seventy-three percent of all U.S. deaths in Afghanistan have taken place since 2009."

Lt. Lorance has been hung out to dry for Obama's R.O.E.

This just isn't right.

Their next step is to seek clemency from the commanding general at Fort Bragg who could choose to set aside the conviction or provide sentencing relief.

Lt.Gen. Joseph Anderson, Commanding General, Ft. Bragg

Lieutenant General Joseph Anderson assumed command of the XVIII Airborne Corps and Fort Bragg on 6 June 2013. He also served as Commander, International Security Assistance Force Joint Command (IJC) and Deputy Commanding General, US Forces – Afghanistan (USFOR-A) from January to December 2014.
