American Servicemembers volunteer to put themselves in harms way, sometimes for multiple deployments. When an accidental civilian death occurs as a result of the asymmetric nature of modern warfare, the US Government looks for someone to hold accountable. This is when US Servicemembers are offered as a sacrifice to host nation governments. There must be something done to prevent this in the future.
9/11 showed us what happens to our country when we don't go on the offense. It is imperitive that the United States have a strong and capable military. We can't have that strong military without strong leaders within the military who are willing to do what it takes to protect their men.
The US is a laughing stock to many countries in the war zone. When Taliban shoot at US Troops, the US Troops in many situations will not shoot back for fear of getting in trouble.
Is this the kind of reputation we want for our military on the world stage? Do we want Soldiers who are too scared of legal ramifications that they will simply let the Taliban run away.
This is apalling. To the millions of US Servicemembers who have been maimed and killed to defend our great nation, and to the millions to come who will voluntarily deploy to protect American lives, we owe them more than this. We owe them not just our support but we owe them the assurance that America does not turn its back on its Soldiers.
Make no mistake about it folks, the United States Government has sacrificed young 1LT Clint Lorance to appease the Afghan Government.[/URL]
