A Virginia military jury found a Navy SEAL not guilty Thursday on all charges he punched an Iraqi suspected in the 2004 killings of four U.S. contractors in Fallujah.

"I'm really happy right now," Matthew McCabe, the Navy SEAL, told Fox News shortly after hearing the outcome of the court martial. "It's an amazing feeling. I'm on cloud nine right now."

McCabe, a special operations petty officer second class, called the proceedings "troubling at times," adding "having your career on the line is not an easy thing to handle.

McCabe was the third and final Navy SEAL to be prosecuted in the case. He had faced charges of assault, making a false official statement and dereliction of performance of duty for willfully failing to safeguard a detainee. McCabe was accused of punching last year is Ahmed Hashim Abed, the suspected mastermind of the grisly killings six years ago.

I guess having a mass murdering Islamic terrorist for a witness doesn't really work out for you :rofl
 
I hope incidences like this don't make others in the military afraid to do their job.
 
If he stays in, hope this does not hurt his career. From what I've read, they got the verdict right.
 
This really has to torque the jaws of some of our left wing friends who despise our military..........One for the good guys.........
 
As long as he didn't receive preferential treatment on account of his occupation, the more upright and disciplined the Armed Forces is, the better.

What torques me is your preemptiveness in deciding what other people feel.
