Angry Absolute BS.

A Seal gives this sack of crap a bloody lip and gets in trouble over it? You can't fight any war like this.

So you just take the fox news story at face value?

Why not let the trial take its course before passing judgment?

This does sound like fox news nonsense. I would also like to hear some facts.

Probably because Hatty READ the story...and didn't listen to anything...he even provides a link to the STORY, not a video...

"Fox" and "News" are mutually exclusive terms in any case.

Probably because the story contained the allegation by the victim and it listed the 3 "defendants" and even went so far as to mention at least 2 or 3 more people that could possibly get their knickers twisted in this PC-ladened pile of BS.

But hey! We're here to apologize to anyone that looks cross-eyed at us for the past 200+ years or so...

OH! WAIT! We haven't quite finished apologizing to the Natives that Christopher Columbus infected when he stumbled on the shores of North America before it became known as such...right?

Or, do we need to go back to Amerigo Vespucci? That should be the trip-point for apologies...or is it the Vikings?

Who knows?

I think the point is that the story is likely to be factually incorrect, or at least incomplete. I will wait until I see a real news source.

I read the story, whats not true? They may be leaving facts out, but as it stands Navy Seals are in trouble for giving this sack of crap a bloody nose. Screw that, hand him over to the Mossad for some proper treatment.

I hope they are leaving facts out.

I read it, but I have no idea if its true or not. I would not respond to a fox story unless I saw it confirmed elsewhere; they have no credibility.

There's no punishment worse enough that can be infliced through trial for Mr Abed, and the seal knows this.

I'd take a pay cut for a few months to punch that guy too. I hope that's all that happens.

Dont assault the POW, or take funny pictures of them...
Lesson learned

Next...
