SFC Charles Martland will be discharged on 1 November for assaulting an Afghan Police Officer after discovering the officer had raped a young boy and beaten his mother. The Army has already rejected his repeal and his discharge is imminent. Martland is a decorated Green Beret that embodies what it is to be a Soldier and his actions against an officer for such vulgar actions should not be punished. Please let this get out to everyone
LtCol, USAF (Ret) The military hierarchy is about as wrong as it can be on this issue. The actions of SFC Charles Martland saved this boy's life. One thing we see ofter is these boytoys are killed after they lose their desireability in the eyes of their captors. Further, I'd expect any real man to do the same as SFC Martland. I'd expect cowards and politicians do otherwise as our brass expected this hero to do.
