AFGHAN TROUBLE …
|| By FITSNEWS || A 33-year-old U.S. Army green beret is in hot water over a 2011 incident in which he acknowledged beating up an Afghan police commander.
According to Military.com, Sergeant First Class Charles Martland is getting the boot from the Army because of the incident – which took place after the Afghan commander allegedly admitted to Martland that he had kidnapped and raped a boy in northern Afghanistan’s Kunduz province.
Wait … so an American soldier who stood up to an admitted child rapist is getting the boot?
Could it be there’s more to this than meets the eye?
Maybe …
“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 website reported.
Martland was reprimanded by his commanding general in the aftermath of the incident for a “flagrant departure from the integrity, professionalism and even-tempered leadership I expect from all soldiers of this command, but especially a Special Forces professional.”
Our view? Just as you “can’t get killed somewhere you’re not,” you can’t get in trouble there either … although we would argue that a soldier standing up to a confessed child rapist is not necessarily our definition of “trouble.”
Nearly 2,400 American soldiers have been killed in this conflict – most of them from 2008-14 as the federal government shifted its emphasis from the “wrong” War in Iraq to the “right war” in Afghanistan. In March, U.S. president Barack Obama announced he was slowing down the American troop “drawdown” in Afghanistan – saying the country was still “a very dangerous place.”
This week, it was revealed the Obama administration is considering leaving as many as 10,000 combat troops in Afghanistan through the end of 2016.
Perpetual war, right?

How much longer will it be before Obama pardons Jerry Sandusky, Homosexual Child Rapist?
Sandusky was just carrying out the actions of an old Democrat Party special interest voter group.
“Why do you ask the SAME STUPID QUESTIONS EVERYDAY!” – flip
Sandusky, and your idol, Hastert (Republican speaker of the house) who raped little boys he was coaching..all republicans. But hey dontlet facts get in the way you pathetic piece of shit..gee and we wonder why your blog failed so quickly..maybe because you are known liar? or it just sucked..either one.
Why do run from who, and what you are…when it manifests.
You “GLLAD”-LY march in the streets to promote homosexuals. But disavow them, when they are caught doing what you exalt as sanctified…
so wont comment on the meat of the story? as it proves you are aliar and resort to the usual bullshit to try and distract. Thats called being a coward..nothing new to you though is it?
Which party promotes homosexual activity?
Hastert, if he did what you are claiming, is merely following your lead…and raping boys.
Ironic on a day when a Speaker just got FIRED for doing your dirty work…the best you can do is attack a so-called Republican, for putting into action, filthy behavior that defines you,and your dirty little party of immoral child Rapists…that you celebrate, and get rich off of…
What fucking world do you live in? ahhh never-mind..crapville..thats right..the mayor of crapville, where the truth has no reason to stop and delusion is the air you breath.
That’s His Honor of Crapville sir!!!!
Nope. He trolls until he is called out on his BS or his confronted with a legitimate question & then he runs away with his tail between his legs.
And gest Flip to upvote him.
DId your Dad play with your parts as a kid or something?
I don’t see what Sandusky did that was wrong.
Oh, now I do. He got caught! That’s where I fucked up too.
It happens. Ask that guy who used to be President of the religious college near Greeneville. “Hey buddy, what ya’ doin?”
Afraid the Military leadership under our Kenyan, Socialist, Anchor Baby, Muslim is no leadership at all. Cooking the books on success of actions against ISIS, cooking the books on intelligence, spending Millions to train 50 Syrian opposition fighters. Very reminiscent of the US failure in Vietnam under LBJ. Life, treasure pissed down a toilet!
ahhh but the Vietnam war went on for 8 more years under a Republican..then he gave up….ooopsies more facts that prove..yet again…what a pathetic liar you are. Your own words mark you, not anything else..your own words!!!
Always running from who, and what, you are…
I don’t blame you…
ahhh always telling lies because the facts dont back your stupid asinine view on the world which has nothing to do with facts. Usual. hard to believe the blog failed so quickly….lolol Losers lose as you know very well.
You are the epitome of ignorance, and the backwardness, of the Democrat Party.
snappy come back. again i just cant believe you failed so quickly with that sad blog. Its ok timmy, the world needs ditch digger too!
I’m surprised his blog managed to get even one visitor besides his mom.
Kennedy started it, but LBJ really put the war into motion on a massive scale. Nixon got the North Vietnamese to agree to a cease-fire. However, he left office in shame and liberals took over the gov’t. North Vietnam saw their opportunity and took it. They knew with all the Democrats in power there was no way the US would even fund a war, let alone fight one. The war was lost the moment Nixon left office.
You are a lying disgrace-just like the Democrat Party.
Nixon did NOT give up on Vietnam. The coward slimeball Dims in congress defunded the war and left us high and dry. He had no choice.
We do have a CinC and there is such a thing as the Commander’s intent.

Any army that punishes it’s members for beating unrepentant rapists is going to have a tough time keeping morale up:

All I can comment on is the even during Gulf#1 we learned that boy rape is basically an institution in the Arab world. One of the Saudi guys working with us said he watched his son WAY more carefully than he did his daughters as far as fear of abduction was concerned.
As far as I know none of that happened on a US base in Saudi back then but…the saying among Arabs is that “women are for propagation and boys are for fun”.
Flash forward to my time “in country” 2002 – 2005. Shit was/is commonplace in “the “stan” and probably in Iraq, Kuwait and Quatar (behind closed doors)
Again, I’d stop that shit immediately if I came upon it and damn the consequences but everyone knew what those fuckers did off base.if they had half an opportunity. There is even a documentary called “the Dancing Boys of Afghanistan”.
I find it totally disgusting but it’s been going on since Roman times and is imbedded in Middle East culture.
Not to mention the talk going around about what Rush Limpballs was using that Viagra for when he took that little South American “vacation” some years back………………
“Again, I’d stop that shit immediately if I came upon it ”
Exactly. That’s why the soldier shouldn’t be punished like he was. He should have received KP duty or something, not have been booted.
Obama’s Dreamers LOVE him –even in Afghanistan…
If there was a draft on,this shit would be over

Obama is the epitome of a Fortunate Son.
Pretty much………
Let’s be glad that those dying are volunteers.
There has been a change in Military leadership that has shifted from a strict moral adherence of rules and regulations to one that in some ways have succumbed to a modified form of ‘political correctness.’
Soldiers should be able fight without looking over their shoulders.
Our best, our freedom fighters, despise Obama.
Neither one of you is fit to lick the shit stains out of a soldiers shorts or anyone who has served so your opinion on the military is non relevant and asinine. Chicken hawks… you are both pussy Chicken hawks. Before you bad mouth our military again you should think twice shit stains.
Send ’em off to war to get maimed and killed, stiff them when they get back so you can give more money to your crony buddies. It’s the GOP way.
Excuse me, I spent seven Years in the United States Navy from 1963 till 1970. I was advanced successfully on every rating cycle, made E-6 in four years and three months.
You are a complete idiot.
Funny, I don’t see you calling out Republicans for voting down several bills that would have helped veterans.
Maybe, That is because I did not.
When supporting the military , I usually don’t try to encompass every aspect of a subject in a four line post.
Thanks for your attention, I spent seven years in the military, and I do appreciate everyone’s service and also concerned about the treatment of Vets. Omission does not indicate a lack of interest.
He is Willingly making an ass of himself-if you know what I mean.
Thank you for your service.I appreciate EVERYBODY that serves our country.
I have disdain however for those that serve and then come home and trash their fellow service men and country like sparklecity and Sic Semper Tyrannis.
Thanks, maybe he did not see my post as actually defending the military that has been the victim of political corruption in Washington. .
I wouldn’t worry too much about uglydog, the only thing he’s good for is giving people the finger, just look at his avatar. Speaking of his avatar if he would take the one on his other hand and stick them both up his ass and walk on his elbows, he would finally have accomplished something.
Yes, he did tick me off, just a little.. I try to ignore these trolls and not respond to them, but I thought that one deserved a comment since I am a seven year veteran. I usually hold out pretty well and manage to ignore them, just a slip up on my part. At times, I must admit, I do get a kick out of pissing off some of them, and they.are quite humorous. There is one, and I am living in its head without a lease, rent free, and believe me, it is unfurnished.
Thanks for the advice and support….
BTW thank you for your service, from one vet to another.
You are welcome and same to you.
We’re bad mouthing your lord-god Obama. Our soldiers would stand and cheer if we told the truth about Obama out loud.
Any soldier that voted for Obama is in to use the service for social experimentation, and should be dishonorably discharged…
Just like I’d like to Dishonorably Discharge you from my country..and make you live in one of the 3rd world armpits that you exalt, while HATING America, and Americans. You filthy bastard.
Give it up. GrandTangosUnglyDog just finished you off. “Fit to lick the shit stains” pretty much was the end for you. Bye bye now.
Good comment, these other fools are off base.
Dude. We have a winner today. You managed to take a Tango-ism of shit in pants, throw back in his face with a huge smelly stain, and rub his nose in it. I sir, stand at awe of your post. Well done. Well done in deed. A Starbucks gift card for you!!!!!!
Dang!!!! Getting it with little boys – enough to make Tango consider enlisting.
Obama invited a young, hateful would-be Bomber to the White House because feigned Killing (blowing up) our children…
America better wake up…our Biggest Enemy is in our White House…And a lot of Dumbass FITSNews followers are 100% against us, on Obama’s side.
Dude. I’m gonna get GrandTangosUnglyDog to slap you around again.
