Army kicking out Green Beret for protecting a child against abuse
When a decorated soldier was told to turn a blind eye from intervening in the case of a child who was being repeatedly raped and beaten, he knew it was an order he had to refuse. Now, doing the right thing will cost him his career.
Sgt. 1st Class Charles Martland, a Green Beret, learned from a 12 year-old Afghan boy's mother that an Afghan police commander had chained her son to his bed in order to repeatedly abuse him...all occurring on a United States military base. The commander was being trained under Sgt. Martland's mentorship. Sgt. Martland confronted the Afghan rapist on a U.S. military base in Afghanistan, who admitted and laughed off his sexually abusive actions, disregarding the concerns. Like any red-blooded American would (and should) do, Sgt. Martland would not stand by and allow the child to be hurt any longer. A physical altercation broke out between Sgt. Martland and the Afghan commander. Sgt. 1st Class Charles Martland admits he confronted the Afghan police commander and physically threw him off the base because he was fed up with the commander's brutal sexual abuse of a village boy. For protecting a child against an admitted rapist, Sgt. Martland has been told he will be dismissed from the military in November. Did you catch that? Instead of standing with a soldier who was protecting a child against an admitted rapist, the military is kicking him out! I can't imagine anyone who wouldn’t have done the same thing in Sgt. Martland's boots. I certainly wouldn't punish any man for doing what any man should do…stepping in to protect a defenseless child from physical abuse! No matter where our soldiers serve, no matter what local customs may dictate, every person serving in our military has a moral obligation to protect children anywhere and anytime abuse occurs. TAKE ACTION Sign our petition to the House and Senate Armed Services Committees, urging them to demand the Pentagon clear Sgt. Martland's record and allow him to return to his regular duties.
