Navy SEALs have secretly captured one of the most wanted terrorists in Iraq — the alleged mastermind of the murder and mutilation of four Blackwater USA security guards in Fallujah in 2004. And for their trouble, three of the SEALs, members of the Navy's elite commando unit, are now facing criminal charges, sources told FoxNews.com.
The three have refused non-judicial punishment — called an admiral's mast — and requested a trial by court-martial.
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.
Now, instead of being lauded for bringing to justice a high-value target, three of the SEAL commandos, all enlisted, face assault charges and have retained lawyers.

I was wondering about that story, until the last line. ;)
Sort of tells the story, don’t it? LOVE our Military men and women. Prayers up for all of them, past and present and future.

I can only hope this case is the one that breaks the camels back on these political prosecutions of our military, Semper Fi Mom.
Yes! I just hope they don't mess up America to where it can't be fixed. Some of these policies just stay on and on just like the Pat Schroeder bills put into place years ago. Rush and his 2nd caller on this mess talked about it today. See a transcript at

This is a problem all soldiers face nowadays... can’t do their jobs, can’t take initiative in the field. There’s a Canadian soldier who is facing court martial for what many see as a mercy killing of a Taliban insurgent in Afghanistan.

Was Lennon really the person people make him out to be? He strikes me as being a smelly,LSD-dropping hippie. Give peace a chance? The Vietnam vets are much cooler guys than those damn hippies!
That’s Rahm oh come oh come Emmaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanuel.
And the SEALS with heir shirts off.If you look closely on the internet, most SEAL pics have their faces blurred out. It is rare that a SEAL gets press or pics taken. Those may be Navy Divers or just regular sailors. Could be SEALS but I doubt it. They rarely beefcake pose.
lol
I love surprise endings.
Oh yeah! Well how do you explain this!
LOL...just giving you a hard time.;-)
You had me going there..! LoL
(I modified my tag)
Navy divers? Still hot. If I were 10 years younger........
THIS IS AN OBAMANATION! TOTUS is the opne who should be put on trial!
Go Navy!
But seriously, then we need an updated SEAL calendar. It's our right as Americans! ;)
Terrence - you guys never fail us though and I love and appreciate you for it! God bless you. Thank you for serving - I pray for you every day and ask God to thwart the enemy in all it’s schemes. We have it so good here and I also ask God to open up these liberals eyes.
I’d say “if I were single”, but that would be just wrong. ;-) ((waving to lurking hubby))
8-)
bump to that! Great post!
As you can see from this thread Terrence, the American public is rather protective of our military. We will not stop supporting you all and this administration had better get in line or we will continue to come down hard on them and continue to expose their anti-military ambitions.
Your service in invaluable to us and you can tell that also to anyone within earshot. We can not express our thankfulness enough.
Happy Thanksgiving and thank God above that we have the United States military guarding our gates and protecting our freedom 24/7. Without you we wouldn't have a nation as great as ours to call ‘Home’. God Bless.
