Pussification of Amercica At It's Finest - Green Beret From Milton Getting Kicked Out Of Army For Confronting An Afghan Police Office Who Raped A Boy....Wait What?
Fox News – EXCLUSIVE: The U.S. Army is kicking out a decorated Green Beret after an 11-year Special Forces career, after he got in trouble for shoving an Afghan police commander accused of raping a boy and beating up his mother when she reported the incident. The case of Sgt. 1st Class Charles Martland now has the attention of Congress, with Rep. Duncan Hunter writing to Defense Secretary Ash Carter challenging the decision. “I am once again dismayed by the Army’s actions in this case,” Hunter, R-Calif., wrote in a letter to Carter. Martland is described by many of his teammates as the finest soldier they have ever served alongside.
But his Army career changed course during his second deployment to Afghanistan in 2011. After learning an Afghan boy was raped and his mother beaten, Martland and his team leader confronted a local police commander they had trained, armed and paid with U.S. taxpayer dollars. When the man laughed off the incident, they physically confronted him.
Martland grew up south of Boston, in Milton, Mass. An all-state football player in high school, he set his sights on playing college football after graduating in 2001. Martland went for the Florida State University team, which just finished a season ranked #4 in the nation. He made the team, impressing legendary head coach Bobby Bowdon and famed defensive coordinator Mickey Andrews.
One day in early September 2011 at their remote outpost, a young Afghan boy and his Afghan-Uzbek mother showed up at camp. The 12-year-old showed the Green Berets where his hands had been tied. A medic took him to a back room for an examination with an interpreter, who told them the boy had been raped by another commander by the name of Abdul Rahman. After learning of the meeting, Rahman allegedly beat the boy’s mother for reporting the crime. It was at this point, the Green Berets had had enough. Quinn and Martland went to confront Rahman. “He confessed to the crime and laughed about it, and said it wasn’t a big deal. Even when we patiently explained how serious the charge was, he kept laughing,” Quinn said.
According to reports of the incident, Quinn and Martland shoved Abdul Rahman to the ground. It was the only way to get their point across, according to Quinn. “As a man, as a father of a young boy myself at the time, I felt obliged to step in to prevent further repeat occurrences,” Quinn said.
Rahman walked away bruised from getting shoved and thrown to the ground, but otherwise okay, according to teammates. But Rahman quickly reported the incident to another Army unit in a nearby village. The next day a U.S. Army helicopter landed and took Quinn and Martland away, ending their work in Kunduz Province.
What the hell? I don’t even know what to say about this story? It’s almost like I’m missing something here. Because here is what I just read.
A true American hero (not the fake kind) who every soldier says they want in their foxhole with them, who won a Bronze Star for his valor is getting kicked out of the Army for physically confronting an Afghan police officer who raped a little boy and beat up his mother when she reported him. Keep in mind the rape is not in dispute. The police officer admitted he did it and laughed it off when he was confronted about it. Then and only then did Sgt. 1st Class Charles Martland get physical with him. And for that he not only got transferred out of Afghanistan, but he is now being kicked out of the Army.
WHAT PLANET AM I ON! I’m praying that there is something missing here. That there is something I don’t know. Because otherwise this is one of the most disturbing stories we’ve published in a long, long time. The Pussification of America doesn’t even do this story justice. This is disgusting plain and simple. I don’t care if Sgt. 1st Class Martland killed this guy he would have been within his rights. Sad day for America indeed. It’s not enough to just reverse this decision. Whoever signed off on this from the Army should be deported immediately. I mean if this is how we treat our best soldiers what’s the point of even living here in the first place?
