A Soldiers Greatest Fear Is JAG Not al Queda

Posted on September 21, 2006

Jed Babbin a former deputy undersecretary of defense in the George H.W. Bush administration writes what many Oak Leafs have been saying for weeks:

Sending these brave men and women into a holding cell to interrogate an al-Queda tough without clear rules of law is tantamount to sending a Marine out in the streets of Ramadi without body armor. Any military officer who did that would – and should – be fired. So should members of Congress who send our interrogators into those cells without cleaning up the McCain mess.

Today, many Combat Soldiers fear prosecution by JAG Officers more than they fear engaging al Queda.
