With antimilitary "former Marines" like "show me the money" Murtha, and the political generals attempting to taint prosecutions over the past couple of years, the military courts have invariably told them to stick it. Let's pray that they do so in this one.LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-39944200730927504792010-01-07T18:17:53.067-05:002010-01-07T18:17:53.067-05:00Lawhawk--I'm glad you and the other conservati...Lawhawk--I'm glad you and the other conservative blogs are keeping this perversion of justice in front of the public.

Today, he would probably be charged with cruelty for bayoneting Japanese soldiers on his way up the side of Suribachi instead of the field commission he actually earned that day). But we fight the battles we can fight, and I don't intend for us to lose this one.

But even the Bush administration couldn't find it in their legal hearts to prosecute John Walker Lindh ("the American Taliban") for treason. This "civilian criminal" view of terrorists and traitors has pervaded both parties, sad to say. So the likelihood of them going after one of their own seems very distant. But that doesn't mean it isn't true.<br /><br />We must remember that the underlying fact here is that these idiots actually think they're protecting Americans by demonstrating to the Islamofascists that we will never allow even a hint of ill treatment for Muslim detainees. That will make them love and admire us, and stave off ill treatment by the primitives. These people live in a dreamworld, and they're turning it into a nightmare for the real warriors.LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-21463285614659797942010-01-07T14:26:11.818-05:002010-01-07T14:26:11.818-05:00i feel it is treason to bring these seals to trial...i feel it is treason to bring these seals to trial. it infuriates me beyond belief.pattihttp://www.notawonk.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-38008948744569678902010-01-07T13:33:51.426-05:002010-01-07T13:33:51.426-05:00CrispyRice: We're supposed to call it "ri...CrispyRice: We're supposed to call it "righteous indignation."

If Obama and the leftists had been more successful on the domestic front, this could be one of the worst things to happen to our military since, well, ever. But more than half of the American people are now suspicious of every move of the administration. I think this site, and many, many others are calling attention to how the leftist politics have slipped over to our political generals and admirals, and the public doesn't like it. This will be a hard-fought battle, but I don't see it as going the way they planned it. We'll be finding out if the ancient and honorable tradition of military tribunals ignoring the wishes of their politicized and weak-willed commanders still lives on. So far, the record is nearly perfect. Every phony charge brought before the military courts has been dismissed or disproven since the anti-warrior campaign began several years back.LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-27847514043847059272010-01-07T13:20:20.543-05:002010-01-07T13:20:20.543-05:00WriterX: This debacle has already gotten more pub...WriterX: This debacle has already gotten more publicity than any of the political generals would have liked. They will try to keep as much of it under wraps as possible. They will only partially succeed. As I mentioned in my comment to Andrew, this kind of dangerous mistreatment of the military began with Vietnam, but we didn't have the internet then, and had only the MSM to rely on for information (and we know where they stood). This may very well blow up in their faces, but we'll have to stay on top of it throughout the proceedings. Remember how much publicity the early "horrors" of the behavior of our military were being published early in the Iraq War. Yet except for the hijinks at Abu Ghraib (for which proper punishment was administered), not a single serious charge has ever been proven. War crimes: Big headlines. Dismissal of all charges: Back page of third section. It's our job to see that what I believe will be the complete exoneration of the SEALs gets as much publicity as the kangaroo proceedings against them.LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-40876340384976316812010-01-07T13:13:10.028-05:002010-01-07T13:13:10.028-05:00Andrew: This whole thing is the result of the rad...Andrew: This whole thing is the result of the radicalization of the left during the Vietnam war. This is the first administration dedicated to carrying on the tradition of military-bashing begun back then. Sadly, it has infested the command level of the military, as evidenced by the attitudes of Casey and Cleveland. Though I doubt that either of them would be classified as leftists, each has fallen into the politicization of the military that the left so clearly desires. They are more like useful idiots than active supporters of the left's desire to humiliate our heroes. They actually think they're protecting the honor of the military. And we all know the road to hell is paved with good intentions.LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-73617088065067265182010-01-07T13:07:40.737-05:002010-01-07T13:07:40.737-05:00This really pisses me off, too.
