On July 31, 2008, Lieutenant Behenna was charged with the premeditated murder of Ali Mansur, a known Al-Qaeda operative operating in the area of [...]

December 2nd, 2009 · 15 Comments
In recent years, I’ve published too many posts about members of the Armed Forces facing undeserved charges: First, it was the so-called “Haditha Marines” who faced trumped-up charges, thanks largely to idiots like Rep. John Murtha (D-Pa.) declaring them guilty before a mainstream media eager to paint them in a bad light. Next, it was [...]

Consider these facts: More than 1,800 law enforcement agencies across the country [...]
