[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]you've pretty much spend the whole entire thread arguing against why the US can't at all at least control what is going on its own military bases and accusing people who express distress over this as obama hate and right wing conservatives. People who speak up for the soldiers you have dismissed out of hand.

These soldiers were put into a situation that went against the core of American values and had the children's mothers beg them for help. in fact, your description of them "punching" an afghan soldier on the nose is pretty simplistic portrayal of the situation.

You sound pretty unhinged and morally unsound.

If you agree with your very own statement that no one supports child rape, you can at the very least agree that this should not be happening on our military bases and the US military should not condone it in the name of "helping out allies" while making the villagers there suffer. so yes. you should be ashamed of yourself. Putting on caps and yelling around the place. [/quote]

Soldiers did report this all the time, as they should. Reports were filed, nothing was done , these people came and went on and off base. Ok - maybe that's the reality of war - nothing could be done besides say things like "we will take it up with the appropriate afghan authorities" - but to fire this green beret who apparently had a commendable record for a push? On a symbolic level, it just speaks volumes which way we fall institutionally on this issue.[/quote]

Agreed. Beyond firing. He has a dishonorable discharge which will stop him from exercising his 2nd amendment rights and stop him from voting. It's treated like a felony.

Then there were the three who were killed in cold blood on their base (the soldiers could not carry weapons on their own base) - shot with an AK by one of these abused boys. All military said there's no doubt he was ordered to do it by the commander abusing him - that's how it works over there. One of our men had called his father two days before because he knew he was probably going to die as he had no way of protecting himself, and the men knew the commander was out for them.

The soldier, a friend on another base, tried to alert our authorities and accidentally forwarded the email through his yahoo account, because it was so urgent to get it across. He realized his mistake immediately and notified his commanders. He is now also being thrown out of the military for sending a classified email through an unclassified account (something our former Secretary of State did AND covered it up no less ). The dead soldier's father, who had received the call from his son, is now trying to reverse this.

How our elected officials can sleep at night, I don't know. Conservative media and Tea Party republicans in Senate and House are trying desperately to right these wrongs. It's part of why they want Boehner gone. So for those that don't think the politics of any of this plays in, it sure as hell does.[/quote]

This really puts into stark relief how egregious Hilary's use of email was and how much people in powerful positions get away with. A person trying to save the lives of his comrades gets censured for using his private email account to warn them as he had no other choice while Hilary gets people defending her and is a presidential candidate with a whole email server that flouted the rules.
