Navy SEALs Face Assault Charges for Capturing Most-Wanted Terrorist

Quote from HotTip:

told investigators he was punched by his captors — and he had the bloody lip to prove it.

A bloody lip proves nothing. People willing to strap explosives on a child and point them into a civilian crowd would think nothing of bloodying a lip.

If they, seriously, just abuse someone like Abu Graib, they should face charges - there is no excuse for that

But true abuse must be PROVEN, not just taken on face value.

Pun intended? ; )

Just like the Obama/Holder show trial of ksm, I would bet this is, too.

If the seals are found innocent, i would bet they would <i>not</i> be put back on the duty from which they came. They'd be allowed, wink wink, to retire or something.

The fort hood incident confirmed that the top of the military, like Gates, has become pc obsessed rather than interested in the more pedestrian things like their troops safety, victory, etc.

The Islamist's terrorist name is Ahmed Hashim Abed. Abu Ghraib is the name of Baghdad Central Prison in Arabic, and it means'father of the raven' or 'Place of Ravens.'

A bloody lip.

The ACLU must be livid.

Quote from CaptainObvious:

"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."

I salute these men of honor. Rather than take the easy way out, which was a hand slap, they saw this for what it is, PC gone rampent in our military. It needs to be exposed for what it is, and these guys are putting it all on the line to make the point. Should come as no surprise that these men are willing to put everything on the line to do their duty, it's what Navy Seals do. Hoo Rah!!

I'm not surprised at all.
When I was in jump school there were some SEAL's attending and they were nothing short of spectacular, esp with regard to unit cohesiveness.
If one of them got gigged for boots not shined enough they all scuffed their own boots and went to the gig pit together.

You are wrong Bugscoe! All the Malik Nadal Hasans would be more than happy to serve in Hussein Obama's military.


This foreigner Hussein Obama fool may start a revolution in this country.

... or Hussein may end up making his final bow face down prostrated in submission to Allah six feet under. It is virtually impossible to stop a trained and determined assassin with a public president as in the US.
