US Marine Who Sought Accountability From Military Leaders Over Afghanistan Withdrawal Is Jailed: Report

[EternalMortal]

Simple blueprint for everyone to follow:

when Americans/West do it, it's "rule of law". when others do it, it's "oppressive, autocratic regime".

zerohedge = CIA trolls talking nonsenses things.

What a disgusting blog.

This idiot is not working for a non-profit working for inner city kids. He is signed up to serve in the US Marines. There is a code of conduct and his actions contravene the chain of command. His actions can also be classified as insubordinate. For this him being in the brig is right on cue and he deserves it. US Military operates under the UCMJ and once he took oath he falls under UCMJ, not civilian law.

Let's wait for due process to complete before concluding anything here.

If Pakistani soldier made a video and posted on social media instead of utilising the process within forces he would also face Marshal Law.

Not so quick there, pardner.

There is more to this story than just his call for "accountability". The UCMJ will afford him due process. Let that play out first.

Oh yeah. Because it's USA so there "more to this story". Had it been Pakistan, it would have been open and shut case of "establishment being powerful".

Afghanistan: Biden was advised to keep 2,500 troops, say generals

Keeping troops on the ground
Gen McKenzie, who as head of US Central Command oversaw the withdrawal from Afghanistan, said under questioning from Republican senators that he recommended keeping a small force of 2,500 troops in Afghanistan.
This appears to contradict President Joe Biden's assertion to an ABC journalist on 19 August that he did not recall anyone giving him such advice.
Gen Milley said that he agreed with the recommendation, but when asked by Alaska Republican Dan Sullivan whether Mr Biden's comments were "a false statement", he refused to give a direct answer.

• ANALYSIS: How much has the Afghanistan war cost?
• REPORT FROM KABUL: A new order begins under Taliban rule
• ANALYSIS: How can the West stop Afghan terror bases?

Later White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki addressed the issue.
"The president values the candid advice of... the joint chiefs and the military," she said. "That doesn't mean he always agrees with it."

She said that if troops remained in the country after the August deadline the US would now be at war with the Taliban.

The fact that the man got jailed for voicing his opinion is atrocious in itself.

Again poked you nose for the sake of saying?

What happens to your reporters/media personnel for voicing their opinion in your own country and in your Iron brother's land?? Having seen you calling that atrocious in your post.....Hypocrisy, isn't it?.

He is an anti regime dissident

US needs to prove its commitment to freedom of speech and patriotic dissent

 

[IceCold]

Freedom of speech.......not so much
Western hypocrisy is never truly lost.

How pathetic even the president of US lie openly.. And now they play pizza throwing between general and president?

Next Biden will claim he got senile and forget what the general told him. That is why he make the mistake in Afghanistan...

So nobody fault... Poor Afghanistan.

USA will absolutely give him due process and rights by the applicable legal code - in this case the UCMJ.

Pakistani media flashes breaking tickers for 8 hours straight accusing the serving intelligence chief of an alleged assault on a jurno without any proof and then get away with it. Does this happen anywhere else in the world?

..and if a Chinese one did he'd get a pistol round to the head. We know regular citizens get thrown in jail just for typing about banned topics in WeChat.
