This is how Real Americans Honor our Fallen Soldiers and Heros
Posted by: | CommentsSome proud Americans still know how to honor our fallen soldiers and heros. This video will provide you with an idea of how it is done by people who respect and honor these heros who make so many sacrifices to keep America free. Sadly, Staff Sgt. John Beale and 2 other members of the 48th BCT of Henry County, Georgia paid for our freedom by making the ultimate sacrifice. I salute the people of Henry County, GA for providing this soldier the respect he, and all of our fallen men and women in our armed forces, so deserve.

The General and the Boxer
Posted by: | CommentsIf one Senator had any experience with military code of conduct, then Senator Barbara Boxer would realize that Brigadier General Michael Walsh was adherent to his address of this same Senator. Must be too outside the box for Barbara Boxer (D) of CA.
Obviously with her fabulous wealth and all she has garnered from her prestigious position upon the taxpayers’ backs, Barbara Boxer has failed to learn good manners. She is up for re-election in 2010 and it is doubtful that she deserves to retain her status. Sorry Ma’am!
If you are out of the loop on this one, let me provide you a visual review courtesy of Real Clear Politics-

The abject horror of committing a mistake and never admitting to same-

I don’t care if she made a nicety-nice call to Brigadier General Michael Walsh to “smooth” things over or whatever her lame claims are via her prissy press releases. She embarrassed her Senatorial position with her petty political slam game. She attempted to belittle an officer and gentleman. Mrs. Boxer openly and publicly attempted to subjugate a member of the military. She needs to openly and publicly apologize for this same offense.
Let’s examine the records.

Who really worked hard and deserves respect and title?

Lt. Michael C. Behenna – A Scapegoated Serviceman
Posted by: | CommentsLt. Michael C. Behenna – A Scapegoated Serviceman
Lt. Michael C. Behenna
I know my “Mouth in the South” self-title is correct. I champion worthy causes, I advise on the errors of the current administration, I comment on the constant straying from the Constitution by the current administration, and I concern myself with the support of our military. Just after the local incident here in Little Rock, Arkansas and the murder of Private William Long by a Convert Muslim terrorist, I was on Twitter and was engaged by a Tweet from:
Battleborne: @bobbi85710 [Don't forget Lt.Behenna he is still alive and being punished for doing his job!
Battleborne: @bobbi85710 @Battleborne I will work on this, promise! [Thanks Lt.Behenna can use all the help he can get~appreciated!]bobbi85710: @Battleborne I will work on this, promise!
bobbi85710: @Battleborne He’s my tomorrow project and ongoing now! Lt. Behenna, everyone! #tcot #teaparty #912 He did his job! He needs our help!!!
I have been tweeting often after doing a considerable amount of research. One can only imagine with horror what happened during the terrorist attack to Lt. Behenna’s platoon on 4.21.08 where American servicemen lost their lives in a firefight.
By all accounts, under suspicion of involvement in this same attack upon Lt. Behenna’s platoon, the known Al Qaeda operative, on 5.11.08, was detained at his home. (q1)
Fast forward to 5.16.08 – I can’t imagine why Army Intelligence ordered the terrorist released (q2) and to be transported back to his home by Lt. Behenna (q3). Was there no other army personnel capable and available?
The terrorist is killed after advancing upon Lt. Behenna during an interrogation. Behenna claims he shot terrorist in self-defense.
Lt. Behenna is convicted on 3.20.2009 and sentenced to 25 years in prison for killing a known Al Qaeda operative while serving in Iraq. (q4)
***Just 5 days of confinement for the terrorist/known Al Qaeda operative vs. 25 years of prison confinement for our American serviceman Lt. Behenna? ***
Those Lt. Behenna have left behind while he endures this unjust 25 year sentence are: Vicki Behenna, his mother, who is a veteran federal prosecutor, Scott Behenna, his father who is a retired Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation agent who also works for the FBI and Behenna’s girlfriend. Shannon Wahl, in his hometown of Edmond, Oklahoma.
Online Petition to Request a New Trial for Lt. Behenna:
http://www.petitiononline.com/MBehenna/petition.html
q1 Question: Where was the terrorist located, as he was detained at his home 5/11 until 5/16? What events occurred during this time frame with the terrorist? Who interacted with him?
q2 Question: What determined the terrorist’s release and who made the decision based on what evidence or lack thereof so swiftly? Who allowed a know Al Qadea operative to be released within 5 days of any capture?
q3 Question: Who allowed/ordered an attacked platoon’s lieutenant to transport the suspected terrorist attacker of this same platoon?
q4 Question: Has the recent confirmation approach/protection of POTUS upon Muslims infused or influenced a harsh penalty upon a serviceman for doing his job?
Example: http://www.usdoj.gov/ag/speeches/2009/ag-speech-090604.html
Example: http://www.marketoracle.co.uk/Article11117.html
Example: Double standards from POTUS with regard to a lone crazed man killing Dr. Tiller, and a soldier murdered- Private William Long and another injured- Private Quinton Ezeagwula by a self described Muslim convert.
And…
Question: How does an eye witness “Harry” in a railroad tunnel see an event (attack by the terrorist) prior to the shooting. A shooting which would then light up the tunnel. Assuming that the tunnel is a normal dark railroad tunnel?
Question: Unless Battle Fatigued, why would anyone kill the terrorist with obvious witnesses present? Why didn’t Behenna kill the terrorist when had an earlier opportunity during the “detain” event at the terrorist’s home?
Question: Why was Dr. MacDonell never required, with his findings, to testify? http://www.koco.com/news/18981171/detail.html
Question: Last, I would like to inquire, with a disruption of evidence at the scene http://jaglaw.wordpress.com/category/1lt-michael-c-behenna/ how did Lt. Michael C. Behenna receive a proper trial?
I can now only support the memory of Private William Long’s service to America. But for Lt. Michael C. Behenna, I can support his release because he is a scapegoated serviceman.
Army Private William Long – Conway, Arkansas should receive the Purple Heart Posthumously. Will Bogus POTUS complete this task?
Army Private Quinton Ezeagwula – Jacksonville, Arkansas should receive the Purple Heart. Will Bogus POTUS complete this task?
The Purple Heart is awarded for

I have yet to see Bogus POTUS acknowledge this event at all! This concerns me as a resident of Arkansas and a citizen of the United States of America!
If you don’t know about this story, it’s tragic! Two recent Boot Camp graduates were serving hometown recruitment duty. Neither man had seen combat duty. They were gunned down Monday morning June the 1st, during broad daylight. This was just outside of the Army Recruitment Center in a well traveled strip mall in Little Rock, Arkansas. I will not dishonor these men by announcing the terrorist’s name.
My hope is that this terrorist is sent to Gitmo (Guantanamo Bay, Cuba) where he now belongs and is water boarded to reveal his hidden agenda.
****Note I previously posted last night, on my local Tea Party Blog here: http://bentonteaparty.ning.com/profiles/blogs/all-american-soldier-murdered before our next Tea Party Meeting tonight. But I must say, there is not enough said in the MSM about this tragedy.
