American Hero Wins Justice – Now Free That Brit!

Some people tell me it’s a waste of time to blog about what’s wrong with the world. They’ll say nothing done here on RRA will ever make a difference. But even were I too believe that, I’d carry on, much as those Spartans did when they knew they faced overwhelming odds.

 Three  hundred bloggers?

• Evil only triumphs when good people do nothing.

And those critics forget that there are hundreds, thousands, maybe, of bloggers, many perhaps with only three hundred readers, but together spreading the word around the world.

Here’s a good-news example. 

I recently did my bit to help the campaign for an American Green Beret shamefully betrayed by the US Department of Defence.

Hero Victimised by Pentagon? Support The Sergeant! Sign The Petition! 

Today I got an email to say the campaign for fair play was a success! 

The U.S. Army has reversed an earlier decision to discharge Green Beret Sgt. Charles Martland and has restored his position as a highly decorated military service member.

In support of Sgt. Martland, AFA and Family Research Council collected and delivered 130,000 petition signatures to the Senate Armed Services Committee. The AFA petition urged members of Congress to demand the Pentagon clear Sgt. Martland’s record on the matter concerning his moral duty to protect a young Afghan boy from sexual abuse. 

We believe those who signed the AFA petition strongly influenced decision makers that Sgt. Martland, or any service member, should always protect children against abuse…

So justice has belatedly triumphed…in America!

NOW let’s hope the case of that British SAS man will be revisited, the case we posted on last month.

British Justice? A Sick Joke! Free This SAS Hero! Sign The Petition! 

It is absolutely outrageous that, given the circumstances, this Falklands hero should languish behind bars.. 

Hero Victimised by Pentagon? Support The Sergeant! Sign The Petition!

For American readers, but surely of interest to all.

Time running out for Army hero Sergeant Martland Wednesday, April 20, 2016   When a decorated soldier was told to turn a blind eye 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. Sign the Petition before the April 27 deadline! On a U.S. military base in Afghanistan, Sgt. Martland confronted the Afghan rapist, who admitted to his sexually abusive actions but simply laughed off 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 was ordered involuntarily discharged from the military. Sign the Petition before the April 27 deadline! Did you catch that? Instead of standing with a soldier who was protecting a child against an admitted rapist, the military kicked 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 before the April 27 deadline, urging the Pentagon to clear Sgt. Martland’s record, reinstate his active Green Beret status and restore his good name. Sign the Petition NOW!
