Three Navy SEALS Charged With Giving Terrorist A Bloody Lip
Are we really trying to throw our country away? Cuz that's what it seems like.
From Ace:
Not just any terrorist but a so-called High Value Target who was responsible for Kos' favorite murder of Blackwater employees in Fallujah back in '04.
We are charging three American heroes with giving a terrorist responsible for the murders of four Americans a bloody lip?
The three, all members of the Navy's elite commando unit, have refused non-judicial punishment — called an admiral's mast — and have 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.
Matthew McCabe, a Special Operations Petty Officer Second Class (SO-2), is facing three charges: dereliction of performance of duty for willfully failing to safeguard a detainee, making a false official statement, and assault.
Petty Officer Jonathan Keefe, SO-2, is facing charges of dereliction of performance of duty and making a false official statement.
Petty Officer Julio Huertas, SO-1, faces those same charges and an additional charge of impediment of an investigation.
I know that the men and women who volunteer to serve our nation in time of war do so for many reasons, including a great sense of patriotic duty but it wouldn't surprise me if many of them decide to take an off-ramp from the military in the next few years.
Loyalty is a two way street but right now it seems a Muslim Army doctor communicating with al Qaeda gets more of the benefit of the doubt than three Navy SEALS on the front line.
UPDATE: Commenter Chuck points out - Just to keep this in perspective, our "government" tripped over themselves to keep the terrorist Hasan of Fort Hood fame from being viewed negatively.
