This is a punch in the face to these highly trained sailors! This is the biggest bag of $hit ever, if the president won't set this straight before it goes to trail, how will we ever get any more of these higly trained people in our military. Maybe we can replace them with the lawyers and judges on the front lines! This is freaking crazy! I can't stand the way these guys are getting treated, THEY ARE HERO'S! Let's treat them like that not a thug on the street who just slap'd an old lady!!! Yall better wake the heck up!

I'd rather see a rust bucket on the road, than a garage queen anytime!!
I'd like to be on that jury. It would take me all of two seconds to say innocent. And if you think this is screwed up, just wait until the 9/11 trials in NY. The "defendants" are going to attempt to make a mockery of our justice system.
ya , its crazy . this bunch in D.C. i believe is a terrorist best friend . its like they have their heads stuck in the sand. the way these idiots in D.C. is treating our military is a disgrace and a slap in the face.
I would have kicked the [censored] out of that [censored] hole, most would, and he's complaining about a thick lip?! What about the victims he made, they had a lot more worries then a punch in the face!
Outragious...
I hope it just a mediashow and they get rewarded instead of prosecuted...
Funny, I am just reading a Vince Flynn book about that same scenario....(Mitch Rapp).
These friggen senators etc are just grandstanding at these hero's expense....wait till the specific terrorist threat becomes reality and see how they change their tune again.
It's the pansy assed polititians that should be locked up.
These terorists do not wear uniforms so the Geneva Convention does not apply. Do what ya have to to break these [censored]....
FINALLY!!!! Somebody gets it! The Geneva Convention only applies to a military run by a country, not a militia group, such as the terrorists. The al-Quaeda and Taliban are a militia group. They are not sponsored by any specific country. Now if only the your president, I didn't vote for him so he's not mine, will figure this out.
Here's a good one I JUST recieved by email minutes ago!
A lady Canadian libertarian wrote a lot of letters to the government, complaining about the treatment of captive insurgents (terrorists) being held in Afghanistan National Correctional System facilities. She received back the following reply:
National Defence Headquarters MGen George R. Pearkes Bldg, 15 NT 101 Colonel By Drive Ottawa , ON K1A 0K2 Canada
Dear Concerned Citizen,
Thank you for your recent letter expressing your profound concern of treatment of the Taliban and Al Qaeda terrorists captured by Canadian Forces who were subsequently transferred to the Afghanistan Government and are currently being held by Afghan officials in Afghanistan National Correctional System facilities.
Our administration takes these matters seriously and your opinions were heard loud and clear here in Ottawa. You will be pleased to learn, thanks to the concerns of citizens like yourself; we are creating a new department here at the Department of National Defense, to be called 'Liberals Accept Responsibility for Killers' program, or L.A.R.K. for short.
In accordance with the guidelines of this new program, we have decided to divert one terrorist and place him in your personal care. Your personal detainee has been selected and is scheduled for transportation under heavily armed guard to your residence in Toronto next Monday. Ali Mohammed Ahmed bin Mahmud (you can just call him Ahmed) is to be cared for pursuant to the standards you personally demanded in your letter of complaint. It will likely be necessary for you to hire some assistant caretakers.. We will conduct weekly inspections to ensure that your standards of care for Ahmed are commensurate with those you so strongly recommend in your letter.
Although Ahmed is a sociopath and extremely violent, we hope that your sensitivity to what you described as his 'attitudinal problem' will help him overcome these character flaws. Perhaps you are correct in describing these problems as mere cultural differences. We understand that you plan to offer counseling and home schooling.
Your adopted terrorist is extremely proficient in hand-to-hand combat and can extinguish human life with such simple items as a pencil or nail clippers. We advise that you do not ask him to demonstrate these skills at your next yoga group. He is also expert at making a wide variety of explosive devices from common household products, so you may wish to keep those items locked up, unless (in your opinion) this might offend him.
Ahmed will not wish to interact with you or your daughters (except sexually) since he views females as a subhuman form of property. This is a particularly sensitive subject for him and he has been known to show violent tendencies around women who fail to comply with the new dress code that he will recommend as more appropriate attire. I'm sure you will come to enjoy the anonymity offered by the burka over time. Just remember that it is all part of 'respecting his culture and religious beliefs' as described in your letter.
Thanks again for your concern. We truly appreciate it when folks like you keep us informed of the proper way to do our job and care for our fellow man. You take good care of Ahmed and remember, we'll be watching. Good luck and God bless you.
Cordially, Gordon O'Connor Minister of National Defense
i think they should be rewarded for their heroic acts. they showed more restraint in only fattening this pigs lip than most of the contractors friends would have had they found this pig first!! for their restraint they are facing a court martial. i think it better if they would double tapped the head and called it a day!! our country is too worried about what the rest of the world thinks of it and not worried enough abough our own security!! in my thoughts, we should take a page from the israeli's and tell the world to f#@k off!! our own safety and national security is at risk. our forefathers fought for the freedoms we now sell off to other countries. this is the whole reason we are in this situation in the first place!!
i say nuke the countries and forget about them!! cant do much from a fall out zone when the temperature rises above 10,000 degrees in a matter of seconds can you?
return the favor i say!! besides this [censored] saw it fair to murder but not to be arested and subdued by those better than he.

due to budget cutbacks, the light at the end of the tunnel has been disconnected for non payment.

As a former US Army Infantryman I share your feelings but I have to say comments like these are ignorant. US Service men and women understand the value of life probably more than anyone. We have one of the most highly trained fighting forces in the world. I was always told the reason we trained so hard was so we didn't have to fight, but if called to do so we would be ready. So I hope you are not really advocating the wholesale murder of millions of civilians because unless things have changed drastically since I served, the vast majority of our professional military men and women would disagree with you.
I feel for these soldiers and pray for their accuital should they go to trial. There has been talk about "political grandstanding" and the soldiers being thrown under the bus but from what I read the soldiers will be facing a military court martial and not a civilian trial. Hopefully their military peers will be able to ignore all the hype and get to the truth and these men will be restored.
Just wait n see if a an attack happens (god forbid), those [censored] senators will likely be the first to turn around and start slapping those prisoners....
