It is crap like this that will lead to another terorist attack in the US.
I don't mean the blood on Abed's lip.
I mean handcuffing and prosecuting the people trying to do their jobs and keep us safe. This is insanity, and if it keeps up innocent civilians will pay for it.

WHAT no miranda rights given?

obama you're fucking up, but we all knew that.

There is a very simple solution to all of this bullshit. No prisoners.

I'd like to know who the asshat was that decided to press charges.

I cannot post the words I feel like posting without getting banned from the site!

Another day, another reason to hate Obama's guts.

We better stand up to this crap or we will be like Europe. Muslims are taking over there, raping women and the progressives do nothing. Screw being politically correct.

This is the thanks our brave men get?

#4 - I agree. I'm sorry Seals. Thank you for your service. We're proud of you - even if Obama's not.

And the logical outcome. Two in the head.

There has to be more to this story than is currently out there. You screw up in the military and they offer you an Article 15 (non-judicial punishment), you're stupid not to take it. However, if you believe you are in the right, then you DEMAND a general court martial as these guys have. Now it's the military's turn to shit or get off the pot.

Once again, who started this chain of crap?

I would presume that sending the Seals in to capture someone involved the conclusion that force and violence would be required in the apprehension. To file charges against these men is absurd. To quote "Apocalypse Now," it's like handing out speeding tickets at the Indianapolis 500. Once word gets around to all of the Seals that they will now be court-martialed for doing their job, they will get the clear message that they are not wanted anymore. Say goodbye to the US Navy Seals as an effective fighting force.

After four years of Obama and his Washington Charlatans, we will be lucky if we will have a military/intelligence agency left.
Morale in the military/intelligence agency is quickly going down the shitter and will continue to slide with Chairman Zero in charge.
The need for us to maintain a ready military and intelligence agency has not lessened any over the last year. Obama may think so because all the Socialist/Leftist countries of the world think so.
The people that want to hurt us are sharpening their knives, they see Obama as a weakling and the US as an easier target.
Good luck to each and every one of you.

"Ahmed Hashim Abed, whom the military code-named "Objective Amber," told investigators he was punched by his captors -- and he had the bloody lip to prove it."

Seriously, this guy is actually complaining about a bloddy lip?!?! What is it with these jihadist men of the Muslim persuasion? They commit these atrocious acts and then when they are captured they all of a sudden become victims and cry like babies if someone so much as whispers boo in their direction. Next time just use a bullet coated with pig fat and end it right there. Geesh.

Sounds to me like estrogen poisoning has spread from the White House to the Pentagon.

You can bet the folks pressing this ridiculous crap have never spent a day getting shot at.

Perhaps we should try this case publicly in Manhattan's Federal Court for the benefit of the world press to demonstrate the greatness of the American court system.

re #12

It is because they know that with these pansies in charge they can complain about a boodly lip and then reduce the effectivness of the forces used to hunt them down. Most of the radical Muslims current interaction of the west is them exploiting liberal weakness to their gain.

Storyteller: "I cannot post the words I feel like posting without getting banned from the site!"

Amen!

These brave young men refused Non-Judicial Punishment because they refused to be swept under the carpet by the PC horseshit sweeping this country and RUINING our military!

I hope THIS Court Martial gets as much press as KSM's show-trial in New York.

I wouldn't be surprised if some of the liberals want to put them on trial for torture. They have ROE that prevents them from calling in support even during contact and now they want to ROE to prevent any type of violence. What they hell they think war is standing around as targets?

where the hell are the trolls? I need to bash something!

"Sounds to me like estrogen poisoning has spread from the White House to the Pentagon."

No, my God given supply of estrogen (female American) would not stop me from kicking the snot out of people like Abed if given the chance.

I believe wimpiness is a side effect of liberal poisoning that has affected the brain.

May God bless our servicemen and women.

I'd give my left one to be a fly on the wall in this special CM proceeding.

Way to go Navy. Maybe you could just ask these SEALs to apologize.

This is the great thing about PC it leaves no options.
Instead of capture will now be double taps all around.

These has the hand of State Department all over it which we know BHO is micromanaging.

God bless the United States of America's wonderful Warriors -- and that they can see right by the Soros-and other insidious-Svengali-steered sail-eared-simpleton sooky that presently preposterously pretends to what pathetically passes as a "presidency" and to being America's "commander" in "chief" -- and love our beloved fraternal republic and all of the rest of us enough to stay on the job until the presidency is filled, again. Split lips? Hell no - Kick arse!

Per Ardua ad Astra, Men!

Beat downs of prisoners, civilian or military, no matter how evil the prisoner, are illegal. Punishment of criminals is determined by judges and juries, not by individuals doing their own thing. The founders were crystal clear about the right to due process. These SEALS are accused of usurping the justice system, violating clear military, American and international law. American military personnel have no right to violate the law.

As for prosecution, that is their choice. They refused to accept non-criminal military discipline for their actions. They will face court-martial because they wouldn't accept military discipline.

Take no prisoners ..Execute them on the battlefield.

Jeff,

He was hit during the takedown. That is legal. They are not cops or law enforcement. Once in custody they have to ensure the prisoner safety. But during the capture they use as much force as necessary to redder the subject inactive.
