Trump To Review Case Against Major Matt Goldsteyn – Charged w/ Murder for Killing Taliban Bomb-Maker

Better them than us.

 

“Helpful at the tactical level” can mean the difference between soldiers dying and not dying.

The guy was in US custody. The US government is bound by the Constitution. It cannot murder prisoners without trial.

 

It can, and can also mean the difference between one less enemy and one who circles back to plant that IED.

Im fine with what the Major did.

 

I’m really not surprised. I’ve not seen many conservatives who care when the government murders an unarmed person.

 

If he is guilty of a crime, it could be seen that so is the U.S. What is the basis of his having been in Afghanistan? When did Congress declare war where a U.S. soldier would operate under Constitutional authority? If his act was illegal, what in fact authorized any soldier to kill Afghans?

 

For the last time, he was not in US custody. Stop perpetuating this lie.

 

Bo Bergdahl goes awol and it leads to the deaths of multiple Marines. He’s home in some comfy pj’s.

Goldsteyn kills a terrorist bomber and he’s tried to murder.

The liberal zoo.

 

Did it say who released the bomb maker? If so I missed it.
Who released the bomb maker?

 

There is evidence that ISIS was created by the USG. Always beware of America's Best and Brightest.

 

Valerie Jarrett and Susan Rice were going to sign the release papers.

 

It is my understanding from MSM reports that our Afghan "allies" released him. If so, what good would have done to recapture him?

 

Would not surprise me - much.

 

Shouldn't we treat our allies more or less the same and thus treat their detainees as our own? As for what good would it do to recapture him, for one not being charged with murder and circumventing the justice system, for another, we can get intel from the detainee.

 

See a known bomber afoot in a war zone - shoot him. He had already been interrogated when he was captured the first time. That would be the rational approach.

Of course, I would not advise any of our troops to shoot anyone unless they could make a credible case that they were exercising their fundamental human right of self defense. That would be the only sure way to avoid being prosecuted and convicted of murder or war crimes.

Frankly, a country whose leaders have not been able to achieve a clear unambiguous final victory after 75 years of nearly constant armed conflict should avoid warfare altogether.

It is no longer a credible option.

 

He's "armed" by nature of who he was and what he had done.

 

Same liberals that get bent out of shape if a kid bites a pop-tart into the shape of a pistol, while advocating for the chemical castration of "transgender" children.

 

Lefties be like "here come the rooster".

 

In Iraq they were being pushed back, they still had significant territory in Syria. Obama was a failure, nothing will ever hide that. That Trump had to do anything about ISIS just shows how bad Obama was, there was no ISIS when Obama took office. Just one more problem he couldn't solve...

 

Well, I got to take up a bit for Obama and all the rest of the elites who haven't a clue.

In Africa you got Boko Haram, another arm of Islamic terrorism. Then in Europe and the USA you got the Islamic terrorist next door, who may only be a wannabe Muslim, never been to mosque, but who learns to kill in the name of Allah on the web and then strikes and kills.

If you could kill every member of Al-Queda, ISIS, Boko Haram, all the terrorists next door, and all who are thinking about joining up with any Islamic Terrorist group in the flesh or on the web -- the problem still ain't solved.

Because you got the Book, and you can't get rid of the Book.

The Book is always going to inspire and make more Islamic terrorists.

The best that can be done is to minimize the problem, but like the cockroach, it always will return until the huge asteroid collides and sprays the earth into a billion pieces.

 

He not only couldn't solve problems, he created more.

It was such a bizarre spectacle watching him fail for 8 years while his supporters clapped like seals.

The emperor had no clothes.

 

Yes, but a president who has enough sense to skip his intelligence briefings for written summaries and resists launching another major war isn't all bad.
Most of his errors are reversible - Republicans willing.

 

Obama was a war monger compared to Trump.

I hope Trump keeps it up.

 

Yes, Trump is a real peacemaker, but compared to The Bushes Obama was a dove.

Trump may want to add this one to his campaign rally music list.:
