A colonel who was not on scene when his men acted appropriately is still fighting for his career, even though all his men have been cleared of wrongdoing.
A Ranger who shot a man who was lunging at him, in the presence of his translator, with corroborating forensic expert testimony, is currently rotting in jail.
Blackwater contractors who fired on our enemy in self-defense, whose case was DISMISSED are facing the prospect of the Obama administration appealing the dismissal.
This is craziness. Why have the Bush and Obama administrations refused to take the side of their own men? Answer: they hate the US Military and the Good that it stands for.
If there were truly a search for justice, these cases would never have proceeded to hearing, much less all the way through trials. The Commander In Chief (and his predecessor) is trying to "let the system work" which would be fine, IF the system were not full of people who hate brave, good fighting men. Persecution is NOT the American way. Especially persecution of our own people!
