Great Senior NCO!! MSGT did the right thing for the right reason deserves a Soldiers Medal. It's too bad people are unaware what the Rapist did was a common deplorable practice until the Taliban took over after the Soviets pulled out and cut rapists heads off. Google" bacha bazi" or "Cha Boys" This NCO Taught that sack of excretia lesson, should have castrated him. Because the Rapist likey has another incenocent little boy chained to a post rand is raping him as the country discusses this. Focus the lens on Col. Johnson.

SFC Charles Martland is a hero in protecting the boy and his mother. He should be reinstated immediately! Thank God for soldiers like him!

The President and all his men are so far gone on this one. The lack of courage on the part of our current administration is a disgrace. I thank you with all my heart for protecting that boy and his mother. you are my hero SFC Charles Martland.

SFC Martland is a hero who deserves our thanks and respect. Since when does the US military defend child molesters and punish good men? Fie on this administration!

To those who will not protect a child, worse--a child raped and his mother beaten, WHO WILL YOUR PROTECT?

Absolutely behind him on this. The abuse of women and children is a way of life in that society.

I'd like to add my voice in support of SFC Class Charles Martland. I commend him for giving the truly abusive Afghan police a taste of what he really deserves, which is imprisonment. How can a policeman in ANY country, let alone Afghanistan, admit to the offenses and then try to laugh off them off. Policemen are sworn to defend the population, not to kidnap and rape a little boy and then assault the boy's mother. How can other Afghan police "allow the honor killing of a 12-year-old girl after she kissed a boy" and get away with it? I'm all in favor of having rules of engagement, as far as our shooting at people or when returning fire, but some of the cultural stuff goes too far! We need to have a Muslim cleric sit in on all Afghan police and military training events and read the verses of the Koran that speak against pedophilia, raping and honor killing and in favor of moral, ethical conduct. We should be showing them situations as to what a policeman in the a NATO country would do, if he found out that one of his colleagues were committing such crimes, or if a family carried out or was planning an honor killing. Each Afghan trainee should be made to read a whole list of the dos and don'ts of legal and ethical conduct of a policeman and military members. As you can see, the punishment against SFC Martland and CPT Daniel Quinn for having beaten up the admitted perpetrator of multiple rapes of a small boy far exceeds what the guilty Afghan policeman received. These bad Afghans should be culled from their forces, so the rest can see that there are adverse consequences for such illegal, unethical and disgusting conduct. We need more Martlands and more Quinns and less overlooking of conduct of abusive perverts among the ranks of the Afghan security and defense forces against the people they're supposed to be protecting. Otherwise, we’re dishonoring the service of the professional, ethical and honorable majorities of both U.S. and Afghan police and armed force

Instead of politically correct, let's do the right thing for a man deserving it.

Unbelievable - what this man did was correct and moral. This is about being right, not following orders.

I only wish I personally knew this outstanding example of a Soldier and American. After following this story, it saddens me to see that the Army is looking to let this man go after his impeccable service record clearly shows he is a model Soldier.

It is very sad day in America when a Man or Woman for that matter who are serving this great Country, which was founded on morality and truth (Bible), is asked to look away when immoral acts are taking place...especially when CHILDREN are involved!

The WH has gotten rid of all high ranking officers with any sense at all.
