The reason I started this blog is so that I could have a forum to fight back against visceral, mealy mouthed leftists, and Islamofascists and their supporters. With the vile nastiness spewed by the Democrats after the 2000 election I could no longer maintain the status quo, so I traded in my kid gloves for brass knuckles. I write articles and opinion pieces about current and historical events. In other words, I can practice my right to freedom of speech just like the anti-American, anti-military, anti-war crowd. I can actually be blunt and straight to the point without being censored by PC website owners.

eru,
My opinion, based on the facts of the incident and my experience as an Iraq war veteran, is this: 1SG Hatley and his squad were attacked by a group of enemy terrorist combatants. They fired back, chased them down, captured them, and found their weapons cache. They should have killed them on the spot, instead of taking them to the base camp. As for the Courts Martial decision, justice isn’t always “just”.
You should know that 99.9% of the accusations leveled against American troops fall flat either before they get to trial, or as a result of acquitals.
