Justice is under attack

The Spokesman-Review

Unjustly trying our SEALs based on a known enemy combatant’s word, giving Khalid Sheikh Mohammed a civilian trial, providing Miranda rights to a terrorist who tries to blow up an airplane and kill hundreds of innocent people are shocking and destructive decisions. The concept of justice and right versus wrong has obviously suffered a negative paradigm shift.

Since they do irreparable harm by taking debilitating actions against those who fight for our country, responsible individuals should be fired immediately. What is the incentive to enlist and then potentially suffer prosecution for doing the job you were trained to do? In addition to voluntary endangerment, comprehensive training in eggshell walking should now be a military requisite.

Court-martialing our dedicated, patriotic military personnel in foreign courts leaves no doubt that the collective intelligence of our PC-oriented politicians could readily fit into a mustard seed with copious room to spare. This nonsense transpires while our best continue to die fighting endless wars of American enslavement.

Is this temporary insanity or a calculated agenda to encourage the enemy while simultaneously demoralizing our armed forces? What an unacceptable, thoughtless Obamanation! War by definition is “hostile conflict,” not patty-cake or an alleged bloody lip.
