A report on Fox News certainly caught our eye – and ire. Apparently, three Navy SEALs are set to face separate arraignments on December 7 for assault, all in connection with the successful completion of a mission to capture the perpetrator of one of the more heinous crimes in Iraq.
The Fox News article was not at all visibly opinionated about the news – but check out the difference. This man, Ahmed Hashim Abed, military code name “Objective Amber”, has been wanted for quite some time. His alleged crime is being the mastermind of the murder and mutilation of four security guards for Blackwater USA in Fallujah, Iraq in 2004.
The security guards were at that time transporting supplies for a catering company. They were ambushed, shot and had grenades thrown at them. And as if that was not enough, their bodies were burned and then dragged through the city. The bodies of two of them were hung on a bridge over the Euphrates, for all the world to see.
It is for this reason that Abed was being tracked down for quite a bit of time, touted as one of the “most wanted terrorists” in Iraq. He was finally captured by Navy SEALs, and instead of these SEALs receiving a ‘thank you’, they were slapped with assault charges instead.
Okay, so we are a people who believe that an ‘eye for an eye’ will leave the whole world blind – we are certainly above that principle, no offense intended. An accused person is just that – accused – until proven guilty, so there is certainly no reason for physical violence against prisoners. But it irritates us no end to think that someone who most likely mutilated and hung four security agents can cause all this hoopla and bring Navy SEALs to court by brandishing a bloody lip after supposedly being punched in the face.
Where is the justice in that? We just don’t get it.

Only in the new America, where the constitution is a flawed document and our military are the enemy. We are being taxed to death and the Obamanites are destroying the country I love. How did this happen. What ever happend to I am an American, instead It’s I am a Democrat, or I am a Republican!I am sorry that it has come to this. Don’t forget this come election day. Kick the bum’s out, all of them!!!!!!!!!!!
November 25th, 2009 - 5:31 am
What moron in this country would bring charges against the men and women who put their lives on the line to protect us and our freedom? This is outrageous. Bloody lip (probably due to resisting his capture) versus killing, mutilating, burning and displaying the American victims as they did.
Thanks for your service to all our military!

If this is true then we have the wrong people in charge of the US Military.

Give me a break.
In order for OUR country to be strong we need the best of the best to do what they are trained for. If this was going to be an easy mission they could have sent anyone to find this guy. They were given a mission and they got it done.
These dedicated servicemen should be given a huge THANK YOU but instead they are being charged with assault. Do we hear anything about any resistance from this dirtbag while apprehending this TERRORIST.
If they are convicted, what do you think will happen the next time we ASK one of our servicemen (or women) to do their job.
It’s about time we get our priorities right.
November 25th, 2009 - 6:11 am
This is appauling to hear that our country is willing to accuse someone of this for saving our freedom.
November 25th, 2009 - 6:19 am
I still can’t get my head around this and where our government is headed. Between this and the treatment of CIA ops we won’t have any brave patriotic souls willing to step up to serve and defend this country like you do. This is just PC run crazy and it makes me sick. I just hope more than Fox run this story. I’ve already checked msnbc and cnn with the expected ’0′ coverage.

Soccer referees have available to them the ability to rule actions that only border on foul play as “trifling”. State troopers have the right to allow those only a little over the speed limit to continue on their way.
What possessed the SEAL leader to push this up the chain of command? A bloody lip deserves an “I’m sorry” and maybe a couple days of KP. Where is the sound judgment?
A second point: why are we using our most dangerous and highly-skilled small-unit warriors to guard prisoners? SEALS should be infiltrating the insurgency, gathering intelligence on the enemy, or training for stuff like that. MP’s, guard units, and/or ordinary infantry wouls seem to be a better investment.
November 25th, 2009 - 6:44 am
This is such Bull Shit!! A terrorist should not be treated with any respect! They wouldnt do the same for us! Now highly trained and repsected soliders are being treated like criminals. What is wrong with this country these days, the enemy is on the other side!!
November 25th, 2009 - 6:56 am
Why is it I am no longer surprised by this kind of INSANITY? I am unable to get my mind around what has been happening in this country- to this country- in the past few years.
What the fuck has happened to Americans to make them think like they do these days? Deep denial? Fatigue? Are they just too stupid or too lazy to think things out? So awash in the lies, bullshit, and PC crap that they are just overwhelmed and confused?
If we Americans don’t shake this mental fugue. the country will come apart.
We are charging our warriors with criminal offenses for punching a terrorist in the mouth.
I haven’t seen any details on the incident, but after being a cop for the last 21 years I can just imagine the verbal garbage these young warriors were getting from this asshole, and I will will wager you $100 this guys was just obnoxious and needed a punch in the pie-hole just to shut him up.
I am overwhelmingly thankful that somebody had the balls to go capture the evil fuck. Tomorrow I will give thanks to God that we are still capapble as a nation of producing young warriors like these SEALs, and all of our other young warriors, who will train, work, and place themselves between our people and the most evil threat this nation may have ever seen.
What this detainee is really in desperate need of is a not a fat lip and a lawyer, but a rope.
If anyone on this page can forward my email address to these three SEALS please let them know some of us are behind them.
Is there any need for a defense fund?
(And tell them I am starting up a little company making tac accessories for AR15 pattern rifles. If they contact me these three are on my personal list of warriors who will be able to get a sample of anything we produce, or will produce, FOC.)
November 25th, 2009 - 7:11 am
If you have a Navy Seal after you, you are somebody bad — real bad — and you should know they are not trained to be nannies, they’re trained to take out the enemy.
What in the world is wrong with our government!!!
November 25th, 2009 - 7:11 am
What can we as civilians do to protest this kind of assault on our brave soldiers. It is infuriating and I feel helpless. Please know that this is supported by noone. You are heroes and deserve so much better this.

Who charged these SEALS with a crime for doing their job?
November 25th, 2009 - 8:08 am
Now every single member of every branch of military or national security must expend critical amounts of energy, forward thinking their defense against multitudes of potential charges. This travesty of an administration easily summons more contempt for our defenders than they could ever muster towards the forces of evil that mean to destroy this country. God bless these men and women who selflessly put themselves In harms way, waging the war against evil. Goddamn these insidious liberals whose agenda is to usurp our constitution and destroy the back one of this great Nation.
November 25th, 2009 - 8:15 am

PC is bad enough in civilian life and has no place in the military, especially during a war. Wake up America and fight back against the liberal left that is putting our finest and bravest on trial for protecting their country.

I can’t beleive what is going on in my country and I won’t stand for it. My prayers are with these guys and I will do everything I can to get them the help the deserve and is owed to them. God Bless Them and The United States.
November 25th, 2009 - 9:13 am
The Navy Seals should never have been charged with anything. They did their jobs and deserve thanks. Whoever it was that brought up charges against these men is a wuss and needs to spend some time along side the Seals. There is no place for the news media in the battlefield either. That is nothing but trouble. I say the man tripped and busted his own lip. The bleeding heart liberals want our guys to fight but don’t want to offend the enemy. Wake up America and stop drinking the kool-aid.
November 25th, 2009 - 9:28 am
First of all, this was definitely not ” an eye for an eye”. If it were, the terrorist would have been hung and and mutilated.
These fanatic Islamic terrorist combatants are instructed to lie, cheat, steal and use any other dastardly action they can do, such as PUNCH THEMSELVES IN THE LIP AND ACCUSE THEIR CAPTORS OF HAVING DONE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Plus, these are enemy combatants who should be tried in a military tribunal and not given the rights of U.S. citizens in our civilian courts. They will use it as a propaganda platform to spread hate and lies against us and the nation they intend to destroy, Israel.
The promise of peace by these fanatics is just to gain territory to launch missiles, troops and other weapons against the only democracy in the region. They hate Jews and anyone who helps them. The land given to these people by the U.N. in 1948 was Jordan, but their leaders refused to let them have it because they wanted them in squalid refugee camps so they could be indoctrinated to believe that the state of Israel was theirs.
Don’t forget. The terrorist that AJ Holder is going to try in NY, was previously going to plead guilty in military court. Now he is going to plead guilty [because all of the evidence is against him], but will use the civilian court as a huge propaganda platform to try to justify his masterminding of the attacks on the Twin Towers. His attorney has said so. It will be sheer propaganda against the previous administration and our country.
These charges are ridiculous. Are we going to make this a practice? If so, We will advise our son and grandson to get out of the military.
November 25th, 2009 - 9:33 am
Bravo Sierra ! ! Unreal, This is total CaCa… Hey I thought they only prosecuted Border Patrol agents “Who did their job” This should never happen..
November 25th, 2009 - 9:34 am
Oh, I almost forgot. I Thought these missions WERE classified….
November 25th, 2009 - 9:36 am
The Obamafication of the military has begun. When the most lethal of our armed forces is afraid to conduct ops in a manner that insures their own safety first and then the “combatant”, it is time to bring them home. Isn’t htis how John, the puss, Kerry put our Viet Nam combatants in the news as murders? What has Mr. Murther said regarding this issue.
The American people must stand up and squarely behind these brave men. If we do anything less than stop this travesty, we deserve everything we get.
God bless our service peopple and a special blessing to these Seals who stand ready to die for us. They certainly deserve better.
November 25th, 2009 - 9:41 am
Read From Time Immemorial by Historian Joan Peters, who set out to disprove the facts she discovered about the conflict in the Middle East, but changed her preconceptions. This is one of my sources for what is happening there.
I expect our country to stop our support for Israel soon.

I second and third all the comments made…I cannot thank these Navy SEALS and the countless others that defend this nation daily so that the very people wanting to prosecute them for a “bloddy lip” can sleep at night.
Honestly, my gratitude is quite different, as my husband was one of the four killed on March 31, 2004 in Fallujah. I saw these headlines and wept…Mike, Jerry, Wes and Scott were not forgotten. Thank you…thank you!
These terrorists cannot imagine torture, trust me..not like mine or our men.
Please don’t forget these 4 men as they face hypocrisy…pray daily for them and all our servicemen.

Another attempt to make us look “better” to the rest of the world at the expense of our true heroes. I look at the picture of the dead Americans hanging from that bridge and all I can think to myself is how amazing our SEALs showed the restraint they displayed. Knowing what this man did to the very people the SEALs put their lives on the line to protect had to make these young servicemen think about taking this terrorist out, permanently.
God bless the men and women who protect us everyday. These brave young men will be in our prayers!

November 25th, 2009 - 11:10 am
Cue the predictable “This happened because of Obama’s socialist agenda” and “Fox News is the only source of my information” banter from the polarized idiots that damage these boards. The problem isn’t our president or the press, which you cowards try to throw into the mix to add to whatever propaganda Sean Hannity throws at you today. If that makes you feel big and important, then go to some rally somewhere-it’s a free country. But here’s a thought–how about trying to be part of the solution and not the problem? Your throwing of political haymakers at the first easy targets that some blowhard with a microphone and a loud voice directs you towards show that you have nothing to bring to the table. These American heroes have had an injustice done to them and all you have to say is it’s Obama’s fault because he’s a socialist–and with bad grammar to boot!! Nice work to those of you who took this sad and predictable path–I’m sure our heroes in peril are so happy to have wonderful people like you helping them out. Meanwhile, these heroes languish in the peril of some unidentifiable loophole in our legal system while flag-wearing ham-fisted self-righteous bozos like you continue to drone on. Those of you who chose this ridiculous path of finger-pointing and political browbeating, stay the course. Glen Beck needs your money.

As a Marine veteran, I have seen some stupid stuff but this takes the cake! These Seals have to go where normal troops don’t, and they did and won their prize! Now you mean to tell me that because of a bloody lip our Hero’s are being tried! It is sad our brass in the Military are wasting time and money on this kind of stuff! But when you set out to make the Military a bad thing which seems to be the trend now with the Cia and moving those five suspects to the United States to be tried terlls it all! But I know there is other reasons for this that is taken place and just waiting for it to come out! All I sy people is be ready because the time for them to break down your door is coming!

November 25th, 2009 - 1:07 pm
DJR what would you do? Sounds like you drink the koolaid on a regular basis. Obama’s fault? Maybe not, doesn’t matter. The fact that these Navy Seals are being charged still remains. This is what has to change. In the meantime, Obama has traveled the world and kissed the butts of every dictator on the planet. He has apologized to them all for America’s past, for the very things that has kept this country free. America is not perfect but we need not be stupid. America wants respect, not friends. Peace, not war. America is the greatist country this world has ever seen. We need a leader. Obama is NOT a leader. He doesn’t listen to the American people. If I remember it correctly, the government works for us, We The People. He and his administration are hurting this country.
November 25th, 2009 - 1:16 pm
Dear djr,politically free-thinking American
Sorry but I didn’t find one free thought in your statement.
People get your head out of your ass. These charges are political payback directly from nobama. Remember a few months ago when the Seal team rescued the Ship’s captain from the somali thugs. They didn’t follow nobama’s roe. The enmy got hurt and that is not supposed to happen.
It’s nonama payback to the Seals for not following his spineless orders.
With this pathetic excuse for a commander in chief, why does any person want to serve???

While Col. Jessep was identified as the villain, what he said here was correct.
You can’t handle the truth! Son, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who’s gonna do it? You? You, Lieutenant Weinberg? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago and you curse the Marines. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know: that Santiago’s death, while tragic, probably saved lives. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives! You don’t want the truth because deep down in places you don’t talk about at parties, you want me on that wall! You need me on that wall! We use words like Honor, Code, Loyalty. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punchline! I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it! I would rather you just said “Thank you” and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon, and stand a post. Either way, I don’t give a damn what you think you are entitled to!
November 25th, 2009 - 1:28 pm

November 25th, 2009 - 4:34 pm
Everything this administration does and says seems calculated to emasculate and demoralize our intelligence operatives and our patriots serving in danger zones across the globe. Having reduced the cold, calculated murder of almost 3,000 civilians on 9/11 from an act of asymetrical warfare to a criminal matter (hate crime status undetermined), this administration seems hell-bent of denying who our enemies are and the level of their determination to destroy us.
Patriots, like the SEALs, who sacrifice everything for love of country, demonstrate the highest ideals and devotion to this nation and are willing to risk everything to preserve our freedoms and our security. Their efforts and their safety are compromised by the blurring of the line between law enforcement and soldier in a war zone. When soldiers are no longer able to defend themselves, to return fire whenever necessary to protect themselves or accomplish their objective, then this administration and its generals will have weakened troop security and resolve.
Americans in the Heartland love the troops and hate the enemy. Every day, it is becoming increasingly difficult to say for sure where this administration’s symptathies lie…with our troops or with our enemies. Those in the Congress who purport to represent our soldiers, but are quick to denounce them without facts need to be reminded that there is no nation without patriots willing to defend her ideals and borders.
November 25th, 2009 - 4:37 pm
Charging those who defend us with their lives is shameful, and a national disgrace. All it does is further weaken our country!
November 25th, 2009 - 5:58 pm
What can the public do to protest the actions against the Seals?
November 25th, 2009 - 6:36 pm
Americans everywhere need to show our support for our armed services and put a stop to the Obama administration’s attempt to demean and belittle the United States. We have a government today that is headed in the wrong direction in so many ways. The Healthcare bill is but one example where our elected officials have shown us that they do not care about the views of the people who elected. There are too many other examples as well.
These brave navy seals need our support. We also must realize that we are at war in our own land with those who want to destroy our country and impose a Marxist Socialist regime. Americans must stand against these forces and let our voices be heard and see that our votes convey the right message.
November 25th, 2009 - 7:50 pm
As a Retired Chief Warrant Officer I am both outraged and appalled at the ordered CM of these Seals. I am a former Riverine Sailor in Nam and have thee highest regard for the SEALS and the Dangerous work that they do. The Officers that initiated this action are PC and should not be commanding our troops, especially the Special Warriors of all the services. If a SEAL officer is the one that pushed this then I would question his SEAL Commitment. A SEAL organization needs to look into setting up a legal fund for these guys, there will be a lot of prior service personnel that would contribute, as well as our Civilian Compatriots. Tom
November 25th, 2009 - 10:04 pm
We always wonder, when leftists get into office, why the Country seems to “go down the tubes” and when this happens we protest and voice our complaints – and rightfully so. Yet, America has been going down the tubes for a long, long time. In place of American history, our schools teach globalism. In place of patriotism and civics, our schools teach diversity. In place of a common (binding) language, our schools teach English as a second language.
The religious zeal of our forefathers is mocked, while “New Age” nonsense is embraced and lauded. The Courts advise our children that they don’t have to stand for the Pledge of Allegiance in class if they don’t wish to do so. Year after year and generation after generation of kids are processed through schools and universities, taught in large part by “liberal” teachers and professors, and we are amazed when we find ourselves being led by the likes of Obama, Holder, Pelosi, Kerry, Clinton and the rest of the gang in Washington, products of that same educational process!
These are people who, if they were taught about the sacrifices of brave American men and women who went before them to secure our freedoms, either forgot their lessons learned or disregard them in favor of current political expediency.
These three brave SEALS, may God bless them, are the latest victims of a socialist left administration seated not in Peking, or Moscow or Hanoi, but in Washington, D.C. This is the same Administration that is currently tinkering with whether or not to place our Troops under the over-all jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court! Are you worried about these three men? You had better start to worry about all the rest that will follow them!
November 26th, 2009 - 6:56 am
Is there any information on a defense fund for these fine gentlemen? If anyone has heard (of a reputable) agency that is representing them would they please post something?
November 26th, 2009 - 7:06 am
This is just the latest act of idiocy by someone who “thinks” he is Commander in Chief. He sure doesn’t seem to want to protect the troops he commands, BIG SURPRISE! I am SICK of this PC crap! How many soldiers have to pay from Ft. Hood to Iraq and Afghanistan before the People say ENOUGH IS ENOUGH and the bozo who calls himself our president is stripped of his MAINSTREAM MEDIA PROTECTION and called out for what he is?
Joe Wilson got it right, he is a liar and he endangers the very men who protect our stars and stripes.

This affront to our American soldiers may be the straw that broke the camel’s back. We cannot stand by silently and watch as our NAVY SEALS are undermined from within our own government.
The buck stops at the top with our commander and chief. I am calling on President Obama to intervene in this travesty of justice.
Elections have consequences folks. It is now our turn, our responsibility, to stand up for the SEALS in the same way they have stood up for us.
Write, talk, send money, don’t rest quietly until we right the ship.
Make this outrage a wake up call.
God bless our SEALS.

this is the last straw…first of all, who brought these charges? secondly, whoever brought the charges are garbage and have no respect for our country,the navy seals and what they do for our country…I am emailing my congressman and two state senators to investigate th is matter and take immediate action to have these charges suspended and medals given to each and every navy seal that captured this scum…thanks….a navy verteran

GOD has a special place in heaven for those who do right. Again, it takes moments like this to change the political spectrum around. These men, like all those in the military are expendable by our government. We, the people are the victors and reap the benefits of all those who proudly serve. Most all cannot put into words our heartfelt thanks and appreciation & admiration & love for the warriors who protect us day in and day out. I’m truly without words. These men will persevere. At a price…..they will win. It’s who they are. May GOD bless them and may this not deter others to go into harms way and get the job done. And… to the “angry” & “embarrassing” DJR posted above…. stop name calling and shut up. YOU are part of the problem. However, you are insignificant. Worthless. In the minority, guilt ridden for being an American, uneducated, low self esteem, and self hating. Continue to hide behind your computer. A taker…. self proclaimed intellectual. You hateful liberal types don’t get it! You never will! Just continue to exist and reap the benefits of those who serve & protect you while bashing them all the way. And….GOD has a special place in HELL for those just like you! FACT!

These Navy Seals made one big mistake, they captured the bastard and brought him back alive.
November 28th, 2009 - 1:10 pm
Methinks think this transcript of a call by a Seal to Rush’s show should be read by everyone. Trace these charges back to last 13 April. Thank you for allowing me to post this.
CALLER: Good. I just wanted to call and kind of give a little more insight
on this SEAL team situation. I was in the teams for 20 years. I have
multiple-decade military service and came in not long after Vietnam. I also
worked for Blackwater for a few years in Iraq and know one of the guys that
was killed at Fallujah quite well. But, anyway, the point I’m going to get
at here is that I think there’s quite a bit of evidence that this is kind of
a backwash from the situation of a couple months ago when the SEAL operators
rescued Captain Phillips off the coast of Somalia. You may recall that
situation.
RUSH: Yes, I do.
CALLER: Well, the truth behind that situation is that the SEAL operators
were kept off the scene for well over 36 hours. There was a lot of foot
dragging by the commander-in-chief’s people in letting them in the theater.
After they were in theater and in place they were given a very restrictive
ROE: Rules Of Engagement. The ROE was so restrictive that really they
couldn’t engage their targets. There were two previous opportunities to
rescue Captain Phillips, and they were not allowed to take those
opportunities.
RUSH: Let me stop you here because people may not know. We’re talking
Somali pirates. We’re talking about the Maersk cargo ship that a bunch of
Somali pirates, teenagers, took over. One of them eventually died, and the
media credited Obama — honest to God, folks, the media credited Obama –
with giving the order to pull the trigger. Now you may resume the story,
sir.
CALLER: Okay. When they finally did engage the hostiles, they did it
liberally interpreting the ROE, and the on-site commander finally was kind
of fed up with the situation and gave them a weapons-free command and they
were able to engage and rescue Captain Phillips. The fallout from that was
immediate and rather violent in its anger. The White House people — I
don’t know the president himself, I just know their representatives with the
chain of command — were absolutely livid with this and they did not want
the rescue to be conducted in the way that it was. You know, I cannot prove
this because I would have to give names and I’m not giving names for obvious
reasons. But the bottom line is that on very good, solid inside information,
the national command authority past the Pentagon was not happy.
RUSH: So let me cut to the chase here. So what I think I hear you saying
is the blowback that you mentioned is, this is payback for the SEALs
violating the ROE on this captain of the Maersk; and this is the chain of
command reasserting itself, letting everybody knows who’s boss and what’s
going to happen to you if you don’t follow orders?
CALLER: That is my rather experienced opinion — and, frankly, the opinion
of others. I am very close to the special operations community here in North
Carolina, and, you know, that opinion is surfacing. These people are very
vindictive — and you have to understand, Mr. Limbaugh, you’re very
pro-military, and you always say wonderful things about our people in
service, and we greatly appreciate it. But I do have to say this, and I’d
like to make this one point. I’ve had two sons, by the way. My two eldest
sons have done multiple tours in Afghanistan and Iraq. The military of
today is not the military that fought World War II. It is not even the
military that fought the first Gulf War. It is a military that has been
thoroughly politicized. It is a military that is suffering the fallout of
Patricia Schroeder’s ridiculous, politically correct policies that still
have great power and sway in the military. And I’m just going to have to
tell you: I do not mean to impugn the junior personnel in the military, the
line troops, the junior officers. I’m not talking about these people.
These people are doing a fine job. They’re outstanding people. But the
senior ranking, the civilian and senior ranking military personnel are
thoroughly indoctrinated and on board with this politically correct agenda
that’s in the military.
RUSH: Yeah. I’ll tell you the most recent example of it. A glaring example
was General Casey, more concerned about the “diversity” in his Army than the
loss of life at Fort Hood.
CALLER: General Casey, sir, and Wesley Clark are not the exceptions in the
upper echelons. They are the rule. Those are the kinds of men that are
running the show and they will throw the junior personnel under the bus to
save themselves every time. And that is my opinion. Again, I don’t mean to
impugn any of the junior people.
RUSH: We know what you mean. We know exactly what you mean.
CALLER: Okay.
RUSH: Everything’s been politically correctized — chickified, if you will.
That’s one of the things I call it. Can you hold on for a break?
CALLER: Certainly.
RUSH: I want you to explain to people what you meant. I think I know what
you meant by the Patsy Schroeder stuff, Tailhook and all that, but I want
you to explain exactly what you mean by that ’cause I’m sure you’ve got a
lot of people curious.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: We rejoin our call with Greg from parts unknown in North Carolina, a
former member of the Navy SEAL team who two sons who served two tours each
in Iraq and Afghanistan. What was it that Pat Schroeder did when she was a
member of Congress from Colorado?
CALLER: I guess the question would be: What didn’t she do? She was very
influential in passing legislation and putting pressure on the military to
basically and fundamentally feminize the military. I can speak most clearly
about the Navy, ’cause that was my experience at the time, especially when
Admiral Kelso — who was the CNO at the time — kind of completely caved in
after Tailhook and started instituting things like putting females on
man-o-war, having the mixed training companies in boot camp and the like.
And what Patricia Schroeder did was, with a really rather small cabal of
very ambitious military officers — who, by the way, violated military rules
and regulations by petitioning in uniform on Capitol Hill for these changes,
but nobody seemed to notice that — were able to pass a lot of regulations
through the Navy and the other branches that have, frankly, incorporated
women into areas of the military where, being old-fashioned, I do not
believe that they belong. And this has caused numerous problems throughout
the military. Beyond that, I’m not exactly sure what else you would like me
to add.
RUSH: No, I thought that’s what you were talking about but I wanted people
to hear you say it. Pat Schroeder was very liberal, huge feminist, and I
wanted you to say the feminization. My word for it is chickification. But
it’s happening throughout our culture. It’s happening throughout the media
as well. And it’s turning people soft and touchy-feely and so forth. And I
know what you mean: There’s no room for that on the battlefield.
CALLER: There is none. And I’m very concerned about the future of our
nation’s military. Again I do not mean to minimize the dangers that our
military personnel are facing in this war. However, it isn’t a full-scale,
knock-down-drag-out between conventional fighting forces. I am concerned
that if we ever do engage in that sort of warfare again — and I think it’s
ultimately inevitable, I’m afraid — that our military is not in the place
where it needs to be.
RUSH: Meaning? This is scary. Meaning they’re not committed to victory,
that there are other things which take precedence?
CALLER: Absolutely, sir. And, frankly, there’s a billion Chinamen that are
becoming more and more bellicose by the day, are being armed at our expense
and with our expertise, and are becoming a growing threat by the day, and I
–
RUSH: I wouldn’t worry about that. Obama charmed them on that trip over
there. He bowed down.
CALLER: I saw that, as he bowed to their prime minister as well.
RUSH: Greg, I gotta go. I’m outta time sadly, but it’s wonderful that you
got through. A thanksgiving blessing this audience got to hear you today.
Thank you, sir.
CALLER: Thank you very much, Mr. Limbaugh.
November 28th, 2009 - 5:32 pm
I can’t believe that our government is betraying our service members like this! Those SEALs probably were treated worse in their training than this terrorist during his capture. I am really getting tired of our Constitution, one of the greatest documents ever written, being used as a weapon against the values, the beliefs, and the very goodness of patriotic Americans. And to have our laws being used to punish those who risk their lives everyday to demonstratively fulfill their oaths to defend our Constitution, unlike those politicians who violate their oaths the same hour they swear to them. This is ridiculous and cannot be tolerated.

What in the world is going on here. These SEALS go out there and risk there LIFE every damn day and then they are treated like this. I sure hope someone with some PULL steps up and drops this crap. this BAD guy should have gotten a BULLET in his head, he should be thankful all he got was a blooded lip. We are at WAR, lets fight it to WIN !!!!!
December 2nd, 2009 - 7:03 am
Here is the opinion of the President of the UDT/SEaL Assoation on the matter. Sounds like the whole thing is a Fleet Sailor trying to punish members of the SpecWar Community.
UDT-SEAL Association Announcement
Members and Friends of the UDT-SEAL Community,
After much internet conversation and concern for our accused Navy SEALs, I would like to let you know what is actually fact and not hearsay. I would also send thanks to those of you who displayed patients and some sanity although very concerned about our accused Navy SEALs. I want you to know that your concerns are the same as mine. With the way this was brought forth by the news media, they once again failed the American people and our community. I was personally outraged the same as all of you.
After speaking with our Naval Special Warfare Senior Leadership I can assure you these are facts not assumptions. This will not provide what exactly happened for two reasons, one, I was not given all the details. Two, due to the sensitivity of information necessary to successfully defend our SEALs.
Here are some facts I can share with you of what I do know and believe:
>The charges or accusations against our Navy SEALs were not made from within our SEAL community. They came from outside our Naval Special Warfare Community.
>When the SEALs were presented with the situation of going to Captains Mast for these charges, they declined NJP. The reason they declined going to Captains Mast is the SEALs did not want to be judged by those outside of our SEAL community.
>Our SEALs made the choice for a Court Marshall instead. The SEALs believe this would assure the representation necessary to prove their innocence.
>At no time did NSW have any control over these accusations or events other than providing advice or guidance to our SEALs.
>Our Naval Special Warfare Community Senior Leaderships is determined to protect our SEALs from these accusations or charges. Be assured they are extremely committed in supporting our SEALs efforts in proving their innocence.
>This was not the choice of our Naval Special Warfare community, but something that was injected externally and now require them to deal with this situation.
>Now that this Court Marshall is in place it must be followed through to prove our SEALs are in fact cleared of any wrong doing at all. If the Court Marshal were to just go away, there would always be doubt in some folks minds that we are hiding something. This could be a media fiasco no one needs. There is no choice but to go forward.
>Now this is me speaking, I do know from a very reliable investigation source that someone in the Navy’s Master at Arm community made these accusations, and the integrity of the chain of custody of the prisoner is at question. There is extenuating circumstances that indicate there is questionable evidence in some of the accusations made. This evidence will come out in a Court Marshal that might not have come out in a Captains Mast in favor of our SEALs.
So, the hard side of this is it’s going to cost our SEALs money, a large sum of money to prove their innocence. This is something everyone can help with but we need to be smart and make it fool proof prior to establishing any effort to help. There are some unscrupulous individuals that will take advantage of this and say they are raising money for our SEALs and pocket that money. Once this is organized I’ll let you know. Our hopes are that we will have only one fund established that will be specifically for this effort alone. More on this later.
If any further information comes my way I will provide this at a later time. I will not send any information forward that is not fact. Please keep the rumors on the grapevine to a minimum.
Let us move forward cautiously in a positive way in support of our SEALs as the TEAM we are and always have been. Let the world know we are the Silent Professionals that get the job done at all cost and we are collectively all in support of our guys in this effort.
Looking forward,
Jack Lynch
President,
UDT-SEAL Association

If this is what our country has come too, prosecuting brave warriors for busting the lip of murderous piece of garbage, then it is time for congress to impeach all those in Washington responsible from the President to the Attorney General. If this is allowed to happen, how can we expect these brave men from Law Enforcement to the Intelligence Community to our Military to go in harm’s way, if we do not support them. We need a Defense fund for these men and a new Commander and Chief.
December 6th, 2009 - 10:32 am
Whoever allowed those charges to stand should be tarred and feathered.

God Bless our military men and women, and shame on this American Government for charging a group of SEALS for doing their jobs. SEALS have been trusted to make split decisions in harsh combat situations, good job boys, if I was Bill Gates I would give you all a million dollars…
Shame shame shame, stand behind our military or go stand in front of them you cowards.
December 10th, 2009 - 4:09 pm
I am outraged by the fact that people fail to see that these monsters who attack our country because they “hate us” then use our laws to hide behind! If this bloody lip occured while being arrested by Iraqi’s, no one would know about it!
How dare anyone critize the military for doing its job! As former military and now police, I can not tell you how frustrating it is to try to go out and do your job – facing the worst of the worst, risking your life, only to be judged for the decisions you made to protect yourself! You weren’t there, you don’t know – and no – its nothing like tv!! How dare you make us think twice about taking action to protect ourselves wondering what will people say, will I face disipline, lose my job??
Furthermore, how do you expect people to just put aside their feelings when arresting someone who brutally murdered, tortured and displayed you’re fellow Americans! They guy deserves more than a bloody lip! America’s justice system has nothing in place for “justice” for this man!!
Thank you to the SEALs and to all the military!

Congratulations to the 3 Seals if they really did hit that mutt. I think their bosses and who ever made those charges against them should be the ones to go on trail for being cowards and not standing up for their men. It is an absolute disgrace to charge them for doing their duty, it seems the armed forces are being led by a bunch of wimps who are more worried about being politically correct, than to their own men. Anyone who had anything to do with those 3 brave men being charged should be dishonorably discharged immediately.
December 12th, 2009 - 10:54 am
Well there is no longer any doubt that the leaders of our country have totaly lost their sanity! How can we expect young men and women to go to battle to protect our country if, when the enemy gets a bloody lip or nose, they might be prosecuted for assault!! Too bad they didn’t just shoot them in the head to begin with.
December 12th, 2009 - 11:00 am
So we sacrifice some of our best warriers fopr a split lip and a punch in the gut on the word of fanatical terrorist.
The answer is simply to interrogate and waste them. “Dead men tell no tales”, or false testimony.

December 12th, 2009 - 11:01 am
The purpose of the Navy Seal is to protect our country by whatever means necessary. The Navy Seals showed great constraint in their actions against this terrorist. The U.S. Navy is sending a terrible message to the world. Stand by the Navy Seals and dismiss their charges.
December 12th, 2009 - 12:51 pm
What is this Country Doing?? Our Navy Seals are only protecting our rights and fighting for our rights. This trial should not be going on. The Terrorist is the one that should be on trial. Since when is a Terrorist’s word listened to above that of our Navy Seal??? These Navy Seals are trained for our safety, our Country’s safety and the Safety of the World. Dismiss this charge….it is a joke…

This is such a huge injustice. What is happening to the leaders of the country? What can I do to help? These men are our heroes!!
December 15th, 2009 - 10:07 am
This greatly saddens me. Prior to my retirement, our command lost five great SEAL warriors in Afghanistan and I, in particular, lost a very good old friend who was supposed to come to my retirement, but instead, I went to his memorial. They made a human decision that eventually cost them dearly and I trust that our upper-level military will not allow this episode to cost these brave warriors another minute of distrust. Please leave our heroes in peace and allow them to do their jobs with honor integrity and knowing that they have the unwavering support of all Americans.

January 10th, 2010 - 11:05 am
I am at a loss as to why everyone is outraged at this. I’ve read the news reports and it seems as if no one is saying these guys did not commit the acts for which they are being charged.
They breached their sworn code of conduct and the law under which they agreed to conduct themselves. Is that a true or false statement?
If you want to say they should not be prosecuted then what good is your so called “laws” and “oaths”? They become nothing more than feel good propaganda that you can cast off any time it becomes inconvenient.
I think it is despicable to act like you are morally superior to your enemy and then condone actions that you condemn your enemy for.
If you think these seals should not be prosecuted because their actions were acceptable and a just response to their enemies’ actions then your moral compass is not much better than your enemies. What makes it potentially worse is to act like you are morally superior and then condone actions like this as acceptable.
For me, this is not about politics it is about respect for humanity. I believe in the innate dignity and respect for every human, regardless of their conduct, because I believe every human is made in the image of God.
If you could care less about treating other humans with equal dignity and think humans should be treated on a sliding scale based on their own actions then by all means I understand why it’d be then justified to treat your enemy which such conduct. But then in the same way that allows you to justify your actions it allows your enemy to justify his actions. And with this you are back to a stalemate of hating and killing each other.
It takes so much more strength to love your enemy as yourself than to hate him. I’d also venture to argue it can be more effective than responding to violence with violence.

Typical CYA result of a military emasculated by political correctness. What next? Civilian trials for terrorists with American citizen rights given to the “suspects”? Nah, they would never dare go that far!
March 5th, 2010 - 12:54 pm
Who are the spineless advocates of these prosecutions who apparently do not appreciate their freedoms secured by our serving military and veterans? In simpler language for CNN, NBC, CBS, ABC, and MSNBS, who are those who look at this story and yawn? Who are the individuals in our Navy, Pentagon, or Defense Department who are kicking our troops in the teeth or who stab them in the back with indignant politics? Where is our new President and our new Congress? Elected officials, where is your backbone? This is a grave threat to our American national security and to the welfare of our U.S. Armed Forces. Whoever is behind this insane, suicidal, prosecution should be removed from office immediately and prosecuted themselves for giving aid and comfort to the enemy in time of war. This goes for whoever approved it and whoever approved the approval all the way up the chain of command. This preposterous game, in which we give a terrorist a forum to recruit and even offer training to his fellow animals around the world, must be stopped immediately.
March 18th, 2010 - 1:17 pm
This should not be happening. It feels like our President wants this to happen or it would have already been deleted.
Is he doing this for the terrorists? They are really loving this one. If they pursue this one them they better get all the WWII Vets because don’t you know they put their all in to win the war in Japan and Europe. This injustice needs to stop. I feel the President wants our Society to fail. *God Bless America*

I served in the Corps in Veitnam and I tell young people not to join our military because you can not trust the Generals that run our military. They are whimps that only care about giving each other medals. General Cleveland should be thrown out of the military for this injustice. He is a whimp that would not go get the bad guys himself (he is a coward). I hope he can look himself in the mirror to shave each morning. Shame on him and his whimpy officers. Where is Chesty Puller when you need him.
DO NOT JOIN THE MILITARY…THEY WILL JUST USE YOU FOR A SCAPEGOAT!
I SAW JOE M’S BLOG HE IS THE TYPE OF GUY I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE INTO COMBAT IN FRONT OF ME SO I CAN KEEP AN EYE ON HIM AND SEE HOW HE REACTS TO BEING SHOT AT OR BLOWN UP..THIS IS THE TYPE OF MAN THAT IN A WAR WILL LOSE EVERYTHING HE HAS.

I am a 100% service connected vet so I have a lot of time on my hands to read about various subjects.
I know some things can’t be openly discussed but I was wondering if anybody knows of any serious investigations taking place as to who really orchestrated the crimes of 9/11? I find it interesting that our country does not have any charges against Osama Bin Laden pertaining to 9/11.
A number of members of the official 9/11 commission have admitted that their investigation was pretty much a farce and a show just to say that there had been an investigation.
Sure we all want to see any murderers from the middle east captured and brought to justice but I would like to see a real investigation into things like why the hyjacked planes were not even challenged and how a building that was not even struck by a plane fell at free-fall speed. Maybe there are simple explanations but why are they being kept a secret?
January 24th, 2011 - 7:58 pm
To John Wagner on discouraging young folks from enlisting;I was in Nam back in 69 and 70. I was on the phone today talking with a lady in D.C. about a VA claim I filed in 1984. They are still working on that claim and will probably still be working on it if I live to be a hundred.
I also tell youngsters not to join up because the VA does not come close to doing what they are supposed to do in taking care of our veterans. I do draw 100% but it was a 20 year battle in getting what the law says is rightfully mine. I needed funds when my kids were still at home. When they did eventually pay me they paid me based on what the dollar could buy back when I filed the claim,not on today’s dollar value.
I give my kids and others simple advise.Don’t do any business with dishonest people so based on that I could no longer do any bussiness with the U.S. government.[not willingly anyway]
