when they had no choice between shooting the enemy and having the enemy shoot them.
Imagine that - "factually inaccurate press coverage".“Regrettably, it appears that your perception of the incident is based on incomplete and factually inaccurate press coverage,” Cleveland wrote. “Despite what has been reported, these allegations are not founded solely on the word of the detainee, but rather, were initially raised by other U.S. service members.”
How can America afford to press charges upon their Elite corps for harming the enemy during wartime? What has the world come to! Whoever's idea that was should just take the place of every soldier he gets court martial'd... maybe he'll get a bit of light shed on the subject.
A U.S. military jury cleared a Navy SEAL on Thursday of failing to prevent the beating of an Iraqi prisoner suspected of masterminding a 2004 attack that killed four American security contractors.
The contractors’ burned bodies were dragged through the streets and two were hanged from a bridge over the Euphrates River in the former insurgent hotbed of Fallujah, in what became a major turning point in the Iraq war.
The trial of three SEALs has outraged many Americans who see it as coddling terrorists.
Special Warfare Operator 1st Class Julio Huertas, 28, of Blue Island, Ill., was found not guilty by a six-man jury of charges of dereliction of duty and attempting to influence the testimony of another service member.
The jury spent two hours deliberating the verdict.
Huertas is the first of three SEALs to face a court-martial for charges related to the abuse incident. All three SEALs could have received only a disciplinary reprimand, but they insisted on a military trial to clear their names and save their careers.
It's crazy these guys are on trial at all
Just a mom: Regardless of who made the accusations, it's still terrible that these guys are on trial.
Most of the media has basically ignored what the terrorists have done, only focused on these "outrageous' actions of these heroes. Not saying that everything they didn't rough him up a bit (I've no idea if they did or didn't), but isn't that very minor compared to what was done by this Abed guy. So he had a bloody lip. I don't think that SEALs are taught to be gentle and careful while detaining deadly terrorists!
