Capture a Terrorist, Go To Jail

This is how politically correct the military has become. This is why jihadists like Hasan are given a pass. This is the sorry state of affairs when it comes to fighting the terrorists.

Navy SEALs have secretly captured one of the most wanted terrorists in Iraq — the alleged mastermind of the murder and mutilation of four Blackwater USA security guards in Fallujah in 2004. And for their trouble, three of the SEALs, members of the Navy's elite commando unit, are now facing criminal charges, sources told FoxNews.com.

Most of the readers should be aware of the incident that occurred in Fallujah, where four civilian contractors were ambushed by the terrorists and then their burned and mutilated bodies were hung from a bridge, which precipitated the first battle of Fallujah.

Well, the Navy SEALs captured the ring leader and somewhere along the line the jihadists got a busted lip. Boo freaking hoo. The military's answer is to put the SEALs on trial.

I keep saying it, but the message is clear. Take. No. Prisoners.

At this point it doesn't matter how many troops Barry O sends to Afghanistan; if he isn't going to let them fight then what is the sense?

Addendum: This isn't an update, I just wanted to add to this post.

Last week on the History channel they ran a series called WWII in HD. I didn't watch every minute of it but there were two incidents were recalled that are connected to this topic.

In one, an Army LT was recounting the invasion of Algiers. At one point a group of Germans surrendered to his unit and he was in the process of moving them to a holding area when one of his soldiers raised his carbine and killed all of them on the spot.

In another segment, a Marine was recounting his actions on one of the Pacific Islands, and after another one of the deadly encounters with the Japanese, in what had been a long string of firefights, they captured some Japanese. Several of the men angered over the losses they had incurred took these prisoners into the jungle and killed them.

You know what we call these men? In the words of Tom Brokaw they are America's Greatest Generation.

None were ever prosecuted.

Marcus Luttrell Speaks to the NRA

For the folks that don't know Marcus Luttrell, he is the recipient of the Navy Cross and a member of the Navy SEAL team that got attacked by the Taliban, which resulted in the highest loss of life in a single engagement to SEALS, and author of the book "Lone Survivor," which I finally got around to reading, and this book should be required reading for every high school student in America.

For the folks that never get to hear about today's generation of heroes, here is one, even if he doesn't thinks so. The other members of that team might be familiar to some of you. They included Michael Murphy, awarded the Medal of Honor posthumously, Danny Dietz, awarded the Navy Cross and who was the subject of some controversy when his hometown in Colorado wanted to erect a statue in his honor and people objected because the statue would include him with a weapon. He got his statue and he kept his gun. The other member was Matt Axelson who was also awarded the Navy Cross.

Remember Michael, Danny and Matt this Memorial Day and all the service members who have paid the ultimate price in the service to their country.

But in the meantime listen to Marcus tell you why we are winning in spite of ourselves and why we will continue to win.



And, oh yeah, if you can help him out with that lawyer thing.....

"I beat my head on the wall everyday"

The National Heroes Tour kicked off in San Diego with a some Navy SEALS skydiving onto the deck of an aircraft carrier. Here courtesy of Blackfive is a clip of those SEALS along with Marcus Luttrell, SEAL, author of "Lone Survivor" and survivor of Operation Redwing which claimed the lives of many good men that day in Afghanistan.

Lt Michael Murphy USN Medal of Honor Recipient

Here is a profile of this country's latest Medal of Honor recipient, Lt Michael Murphy, USN SEAL who was a part of the SEAL team now immortalized in the book by Marcus Lutrell. Another member of this team was Danny Dietz, who had a statue recently dedicated in his hometown of Littleton, CO, although it was not without controversy.

Exit question. How many Medals of Honor have been awarded so far in this Global War on Terrorism? If you don't know shame on you and this will get you up to date.
