Should have shot him!
News Story: Navy SEALs Face Assault Charges for Capturing Most-Wanted Terrorist – Iraq | War | Map – FOXNews.com:
Keep the freaking lawyer out of the battlefield and allow our warriors to perform their duties! These three men were trained to go into hell and back and now are being punished for being trained to do just that.
This is like making a guard dog and then believe he won’t attack the first criminal through the door! They were trained, just like the other service member to fight. Then when you send them out you can’t expect them not to draw a little blood. What gets me the most is the fact that were capturing a creep that killed, burned and then hung American contractor from a bridge that scare us out of a war.
What do they think, that a man that could do such a thing would not put up a fight? Hell he was lucky that these SEALS followed order and brought him back alive and not in a BODY BAG! Hell I think they should have blown his ass apart with a rocket! That way he could cry about a bloody lip! In my humble opinion this dirty bag should be shot and then hung with a pig to ensure he goes straight to HELL!

History Lesson of the Cost of Freedom.
Works for me !!
Have you ever wondered what happened to the 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence?
Five signers were captured by the British as traitors, and tortured before they died.
Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned. Two lost their sons serving in the Revolutionary Army; another had two sons captured.
Nine of the 56 fought and died from wounds or hardships of the Revolutionary War.
They signed and they pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor.
What kind of men were they?
Twenty-four were lawyers and jurists. Eleven were merchants, nine were farmers and large plantation owners; men of means, well educated, but they signed the Declaration of Independence knowing full well that the penalty would be death if they were captured. Carter Braxton of Virginia, a wealthy planter and trader, saw his ships swept from the seas by the British Navy. He sold his home and properties to pay his debts, and died in rags.
Thomas McKeam was so hounded by the British that he was forced to move his family almost constantly.
He served in the Congress without pay, and his family was kept in hiding. His possessions were taken from him, and poverty was his reward.
Vandals or soldiers looted the properties of Dillery, Hall, Clymer, Walton, Gwinnett, Heyward, Ruttledge, and Middleton.
At the battle of Yorktown, Thomas Nelson, Jr., noted that the British General Cornwallis had taken over the Nelson home for his headquarters. He quietly urged General George Washington to open fire.. The home was destroyed, and Nelson died bankrupt.
Francis Lewis had his home and properties destroyed. The enemy jailed his wife, and she died within a few months.
John Hart was driven from his wife’s bedside as she was dying. Their 13 children fled for their lives. His fields and his gristmill were laid to waste. For more than a year he lived in forests and caves, returning home to find his wife dead and his children vanished. So, take a few minutes while enjoying your 4th of July holiday and silently thank these patriots. It’s not much to ask for the price they paid.
Remember: freedom is never free!
I hope you will show your support by sending this to as many people as you can, please.
It’s time we get the word out that patriotism is NOT a sin, and the
Fourth of July has more to it than fireworks and picnics.
