A fitting ending to the ridiculous trials of three of our nation’s warriors. SO2 Matthew McCabe was found not guilty on all charges that he punched the terrorist scum Ahmed Hashim Abed.
Whistleblower extraordinaire MA3 Demartino was yet again painted as unstable, unreliable and distraught, according to the Fox News story. The story also mentions that he was worried his career would be ruined because a prisoner claimed abuse on his watch, and that he would no longer have a chance for his dream job with the California Highway Patrol. This, the defense claims, gives Demartino a motive to lie.
As far as his dream job, yeah… sorry buddy. Hopefully some people put in calls to the CHP letting them know to “keep an eye out” for your application.
So what does this prove? Absolutely nothing, other than dragging the warriors we depend on through the mud. This probably won’t set a precedent, and it’s only a matter of time before this happens again.
In fact, there’s talk of a courageous restraint medal now. That’s just what we need… Should we call in the airstrike? Well, if we don’t we could get a medal! Seriously?
