SFC Martland should be decorated for the actions he took to save the young girl and her mother. He should not become a victim to the politics of this administration.

I believe a DA Review needs to be conducted and reported to oversight authorities as to why this decorated for valid in combat Special Forces Soldier should not be allowed to continue His Military career and retire with full honor at a later date.

Had the pleasure of being a student of SFC Martland during the hardest course the Army has. This guys is a true professional, and dedicated to the service of our Nation.

Stop being politically correct and treat this man with the dignity and respect he deserves! Drop those charges and reinstate him to his full rank!

The QMP should take into account the facts of SFC Martland's actions and his performance before and after the incident with the ALP commander. If confronted with the same situation, I would hope that I would have acted similarly, for without such actions that team's integrity among their LN counterparts would have been 'zero.'

The government is full of self-serving traitors. Shame on them for not supporting a good soldier.

Sec. Carter is more clueless than I ever thought. This is what happens when the lawyers run the military. Disgusting!

The House of Representatives is the people's house. This is supposed to be the source of funding for government. If Americans would stop being sheeple and demand good government, we would not be a nation that is literally dying. I commend Rep. Duncan Hunter, as always, and ask that people call their own Congress critter and ask that they stand by this man.

I am appalled that the U.S. Army would, in essence, side with a child rapist, rather than with the person who chose to defend the child. Political correctness does NOT equal hearts and minds. What would you have done? Once again a dedicated soldier paying the price for a chain of command behaving badly. Apparently they missed the power point presentation on how to deal with the sexual harassment of a child while making sure their PT belts were on straight.

Another American hero being torn apart by our military commanders on orders from the commander in chief. Perhaps we should have left some female special forces handle this. They're the only soldiers, the commanders support.
Right vs politics

Keep doing the right thing, Martland!
