Since 9/11 we have seen a war unfold on two major fronts in Afghanistan and Iraq. The stakes have been and still are high with Islamic fundamentalist killers who hide behind all kinds of names, seeking to kill the infidels….you and moi. It is a stupid waste of time to talk only about Al Qaeda since the mother alien has many murderous body parts such as Hamas, Hezbollah, Al Kae Da, Taliban and many more peppered through out the world.
The common bond is nothing but their devotion to radical Islam. They think they are doing the will of Allah. By now most of us understand our enemy, especially those who flew in the plane over Detroit on Christmas. It wasn’t a Scottish Highlander who tried to blow up the plane. What most of us don’t seem to understand, including our own military criminal investigators, President, and congress is that our troops are innocent until proven guilty.
Today I interviewed Neal Pucket, the military attorney who has defended a ton of our noble troops against what I call Jihad of political correctness against them. I met Neal when he was representing
Lt. Col. Allen B. West, when he was representing him against charges that could have sent him to prison for threatening a known terrorist in Iraq to give him information as to where snipers were hiding so his men wouldn’t be killed. Apparently, Allen’s behavior was rude and nasty, probably causing the terrorist to wet himself, so Allen had to pay. He was persecuted by the military and press. Thank God his men lived because the terrorist talked, but Allen was bludgeoned. Hero that he is, Allen is running for congress in Florida and is doing fabulous.
Neal also is representing
Navy SEALs Matthew McCabe, Julio Huertas and Jonathan Keefe. McCabe has been accused of physically assaulting suspected terrorist Ahmed Hashim Abed, you know the terrorist in part responsible for kidnapping, torturing, civilian workers, then hanging the nude bodies on a bridge in Iraq. It is the terrorist’s word against Matthew McCabe, so the soldiers get to go through living hell….again.
There have been so many more persecution/Jihad moments against our fine troops. Remember that with the vicious accusations of troops at Haditha, finally all but one
Sgt. Frank Wuterich has been let off. Neal just told me today that this month they will try to get his case thrown out as were the other 8 service men charged. In the meantime, Frank gets to be tortured financially and emotionally. Thanks for your service, Frank.
Another horror show of Jihad against our troops is with the ongoing saga of
Michael Behenna. He was sent to prison for 25 years, though recently reduced to 15 years, due to killing an Al Qaeda cell operative who he says attacked him during an interrogation. In self-defense, Behenna killed him. He is now rotting in prison for only defending himself and doing his job! Why don’t we believe the good guy….our soldier???
TERRORIST JIHAD BY OUR OWN HANDS
The political correctness and insanity against our troops is out of control and shameful! I asked Neal Pucket what should be done to stop this nightmare. He said that first of all, Military criminal investigators who always approach a case with the presumption that a crime has been committed need to stop. This assumption MUST REVERSE. All criminal investigators in all branches of military must give our troops not just the presumption of innocence until proven guilty, but a SPECIAL AND EXTRA PRESUMPTION OF INNOCENCE SINCE THEY ARE IN A WAR ZONE. He pointed out in our visit, decision making is dramatically altered when steel flies through the air.
It seems unbelievable that many of our investigators and high ups in military take the word of and complaint of the Islamic terrorist killers more than our fine soldiers. Our troops pay again and again. In most cases, justice is finally done, after many have fought in court, experienced financial ruin, lost marriages and careers.
OUR SOLDIERS AT WAR MUST HAVE AN EXTRA MEASURE OF INNOCENCE UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY AND WE MUST START ASSUMING THE BEST OF THEM AND THEIR WITNESS AGAIN. Terrorists lie and work the system. Of course they will set up soldiers where ever they can. LET’S NOT HAVE OUR MILITARY INVESTIGATORS AND HIGH UPS ALSO SET UP OUR TROOPS TO EXPERIENCE TERRORIST JIHAD BY OUR OWN HANDS.
