Whip Comes Down

Matthew McCabe, a Special Operations Petty Officer Second Class (SO-2), is facing three charges: dereliction of performance of duty for willfully failing to safeguard a detainee, making a false official statement, and assault.

Petty Officer Jonathan Keefe, SO-2, is facing charges of dereliction of performance of duty and making a false official statement.

Petty Officer Julio Huertas, SO-1, faces those same charges and an additional charge of impediment of an investigation.

Only one was charges with assault.

If he committed those offenses, he should be prosecuted. If convicted, he should be punished.

I hate to admit it, but there are some scumbags in Special Forces, just like in any other occupation.

All of those charges could easily be brought against a soldier for striking a prisoner that attacked them or struggled against them. It doesn't make him a scumbag for not using "kid gloves" on a known and dangerous terrorist.

IF they were guilty of those charges, then they wouldn't have been brought up for NJP, it would have been a Court Marshal from the word go.

Hey Junior I suggest you go back and read the whole Story that Fox's put up also the Pentagon released a statement saying all of them have been charged with Section 905 Article 105 charge.

Time for you to run along Junior and go play with your Erector Set.
