To My Fellow Patriots, we need your help:
 
 
The New York Times printed an article in May of this year entitled "US Tries to Reintegrate Taliban Soldiers." 
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/05/24/world/asia/24reconcile.html?src=mv
  
In a nutshell, our military is allowing terrorists taken off the battlefield, who have admitted to killing American Soldiers, to sign a Pledge TOGETHER WITH THE VILLAGE ELDERS, that they won't return to the battlefield, and then the terrorist is returned to his mother!  This is outrageous!  So the terrorists go home while our Soldiers continue to sit in Leavenworth and our mothers, American mothers, cry themselves to sleep at night! What is even worse is that the entire trial for the terrorist takes 30 minutes while our Soldiers and their families accrue enormous legal fees and travel expenses trying to defend their Hero!  This is an outrage!

 
Below is an online petition that William Kelly and Veteran Steve Ruggiero of Kelly's Truth Squad (Washington Times) have put up online.  They agree that what is good enough for the terrorists should be good enough for our Sons!  We demand our Soldiers in Leavenworth be afforded the same courtesy and compassion that is being shown to the terrorists.  Let THE AMERICAN PUBLIC BE THE VILLAGE ELDERS FOR THE 8 REMAINING SOLDIERS WHO MAKE UP THE LEAVENWORTH TEN AND SIGN THE PLEDGE SO THAT THESE SOLDIERS CAN BE RETURNED TO THEIR FAMILIES!

Please click on the link below and sign this petition and forward this all over the universe.  Please post this on websites and just keep this moving!  To all the Veterans Groups out there,  We intend to present this petition to the Secretary of the Army with a Cover Letter from any and all Veterans Groups who will stand with us!  Please stand with us in support of your brothers.  As Diana West pointed out in her article dated May 31st:
  
"If this exercise dampens the barbecue-season kickoff, good. Maybe it will help Americans see the urgent need for clemency in these cases. And particularly given the mind-boggling fact that the United States has released and granted clemency in Iraq to tens of thousands of insurgents, including some of the most dangerous fighters our soldiers were sent to fight in the first place.

This is a scolding from a mother whose Son served 4 deployments in this "war on terror": This military and this government had better start worrying about appeasing the mothers of the Warriors of this country because if this double standard continues, they won't have any future Warriors to fight their wars!

  • It is an utter disgrace what is being done to the American Soldier. Time and time again we hear about one of those brave men or women having their feet cut out from under them by some outlandish order, then at the first little hiccup by one of them they get the book thrown at them. Most of them are but still kids, young men and women that have not had the life experience to help them navigate their surroundings. We must not stop telling ever citizen about what is happening to those Soldiers.
  • Arm the mothers and send them to Washington DC.
  • Please do not take this the wrong way because I have feeling for those mother who sons are impressed. What makes this country great is our constitution and it's laws. We cannot allow our military to kill civilians or none combatants. It is not what we do. To allow these actions by a select few in our military to commit this type of crime makes us no better than the people we are fighting.

    The Obama has made a laughing stock of this country overseas and condoning these actions would do more harm to the United States than you might realize. I do not agree with the handling of terrorists, but this is something that politicians have agreed to, but that doesn’t make it right.

    When we start acting like the people we are trying to defeat then we have lost everything.
  • As I see it most common sense people don't refer to those combatants on the battlefield as terrorist until they conduct a "terrorist" act (chopping off heads, killing tied/bound prisoners, etc). Otherwise, they are Taliban or Al Qaeda, etc. I didn't refer to North Vietnamese as terrorist but an armed force I was fighting. They did commit war-crimes as did Americans...e.g William Calley who was prosecuted.

    Most people see terrorism as the Islamic butchers that load themselves with explosives and walk into a school, market place, building, and kill and maim innocent people...with cold, calculated pupose of killing any and everybody, man, woman and child....or who fly planes into buildings killing nothing but innocents of all nations.

    Our warriors for the most part are political pawns and a select few are proof to the adversary that we prosecute our military...whether they're guilty or not in some cases...how about the Haditha Marines?? Murtha is the one that should have been prosecuted but he has met his judgment.

    Recent action by the several Administrations gives me cause to doubt the credibility of government having the best interests of America as a major objective.......

    I give our warriors the benefit of the doubt, given the chaos, uncertainty, and often conflicting ROE in combat........
