Yesterday in Washington, D.C., Army Ranger 1st Lt Michael Behenna's case came up for a clemency hearing. This American hero is serving a 25-year sentence for a crime he did not commit. That's right: this American soldier is another in an ever growing list of American soldiers convicted as criminals for doing the job for which the U.S. Army trained him.
Back in March 2009, I shared a column written by Snooper:
I can hardly wait when all of the libtards in the military are "removed from service".
GOVERNMENT WITHHOLDS EVIDENCE; SOLDIER GOES TO PRISON FOR 25 YEARS FOR SHOOTING AL QAEDA OPERATIVE
Sound familiar? Murtha must be proud.
The Story ...
On March 20th, 2009, 1st Lieutenant Michael Behenna was sentenced to 25 years in prison for killing a known Al Qaeda operative while serving in Iraq.
The “victim”, Ali Mansur, was known to be a member of an Al Qaeda cell operating in the lieutenant’s area of operation, and was suspected to have organized an attack on Lt. Behenna’s platoon in April 2008 which killed two U.S. soldiers and injured two more. Army intelligence ordered the release of Mansur and Lt. Behenna was ordered to return the terrorist to his home.
