Obama is the CIC and has to take the blame for this though we all know he won't. "I dindu nuffin".
Refreshing News: Green Beret Who Beat Afghan Man Over Child's Rape Faces Army Discharge
sep 24 2015 A Green Beret and his allies say the fact that he "stood up to a child rapist" while serving in Afghanistan with an elite Joint Base Lewis-McChord unit shouldn't be grounds for kicking him out of the Army.
Sgt. 1st Class Charles Martland says he beat up an Afghan police commander he was supposed to be mentoring because he was fed up with the commander's "brutal" sexual abuse of a village boy.
Martland, 33, was awarded two Bronze Star medals, including one for valor, during his time at JBLM. He likely will be discharged in November because the discipline handed to him for assaulting the Afghan made him a target for Army downsizing. Veteran soldiers with negative performance reviews in their service records are being culled from the ranks as part of the post-Iraq War drawdown.
The case sheds light on the tensions that can build when U.S. soldiers are told to tolerate foreign customs that are repugnant to them.
