[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The human rights issue is SEPARATE from what the soldier did.  The human rights issue is not new, it has been going on for hundreds of years.  It is something for the UN to deal with, the US is not and should not be the policeman of the world.

The officer's assault on the Afghan policeman was an unlawful, unsanctioned act of vigilante justice, which is illegal under the UCMJ.  It's the second thing, not the first, that he is being punished for.  In the military, discipline and chain of command is core and central.  If people in the military start behaving like loose cannons and start doing whatever they want, the entire system breaks down.[/quote]

You keep talking about the officer's assault which is illegal. Which somehow makes the entire system of this being okay on US military bases right.

The US is not the policeman of the world..but once it ABETS people who are doing it and ALLOWS it on its own military bases that is repulsively wrong.

so (1) the US is intimately involved in this instance. In fact its abetting afghan commanders and training these rapists to terrorize the villagers that fared better under the Taliban. This is not some kind of situation where we're sitting afar and now wading in. what part of THIS IS ON OUR MILITARY BASES do you not understand?

(2) I rather someone say something and do something when they see something egregious happen.

Your defense of something wrong that is happening facilitated by the top leadership of the US military is frankly wrong and gross.[/quote]

He pushed him. There is no legal code. There is nothing that happens if you report up. Its horrible to say but that is the 'language' the police officer, and any watching, would Understand. He did it to put a stop to it using what can only be called 'culturally sensitive modes of communication..yes, a black mark on your record is career ending.[/quote]
