Here We Go Again

Now let me get this straight, three of our NAVY SEALS capture a bad guy during a secret mission and now they are being court martialed? This seems to be just another example of “political correctness” run amuck. Just a few weeks ago, Army Major Nadil Malik Hasan murdered over thirteen soldiers at Fort Hood, TX. Undoubtedly, both of these situations are cousins of the longtime social engineering visited upon the military for decades.

NAVY lawyers should be given an opportunity to recant and drop these ridiculous charges. I applaud the SEALs for forgoing a Captain’s Mast and opting for a court trial. However, being a military fan, I want to offer a way to help them save face. They can say the following:

“After an intensive investigation, we have discovered that there is not enough objective evidence available to charge these men. Furthermore, we plan to give them a medal as a token of our apology and most of all for a job well done.”

After this recent series of fiascos, the military needs to take a hard look at the way it deals with people in combat situations and the allegiance of its members. Each military member takes an oath of to defend the constitution quite often in atmosphere of violent chaos. If military members are to effectively do their jobs, they must feel empowered to do their jobs without fear of retribution, by us!

Fellow citizens, let us unite, support our military and by all means keep our politicians accountable.
