MILITARY JUSTICE MISCARRIAGE ENDED Week of 201/05/20
It came as a really joyful surprise when the morning KFAQ talk show host, Pat
Campbell, opened his show on Monday, May 6, with the announcement that
PRESDT-45 had given a complete PARDON to former Lt. Michael Behenna, of
Guthrie OK from his 'questionable' 2009 Court Marshall conviction for a reported
"Unpremeditated Murder in a combat zone" of an Islamic terrorist while on duty in Iraq.
That is the case mentioned, without a name, in a previous effort of mine two weeks ago.
The word 'questionable' is my opinion but one shared by a number of prominent
individuals in Oklahoma as well as fellow veterans in Tulsa. After serving five years in
Ft. Levenworth he was paroled to a virtual 'home confinement' in Guthrie but still
stripped of all his citizenship rights, including the right to bear arms, necessary to protect
himself from al-Qaida followers seeking revenge.
The next day the daily paper carried the story, fairly well buried, with the headline
reading "Trump pardons ex-soldier who killed Iraqi prisoner" with the by-line given to
Josh Dulaney of "The Oklahoman" which seems to imply that the soldier/terrorist was in
prison custody when he was dispatched to the believed trip to Allah and '75 virgins'
reward for all the infidels (non Muslims) that he had killed, including the use of IED
(Improvised Explosive Devices) while helping in the 'holy war' to take over the World,
beginning in the Middle East. One of those IEDs had already killed some of Lt. Behenna's
troops before he was captured.
Not all of the facts in the field have become available and clear to me but more than
the above have been furnished to the former World War II Vets of Tulsa, now called All
Veterans Association. Some of our members have mounted a letter writing program
hoping to bring the PARDON about for at least two years. One thing that was furnished
was the statement that while being interrogated in the field the prisoner managed to pick
up a rock and made a move with it to kill Lt. Behenna while the daily paper story said he
tried to get Lt. Behenna's's's gun and was shot in self defense.
The story we heard was that the defense was not allowed to present that in
evidence. Lt. Behenna, it appears, may have violated the "Rules of Engagement" then in
effect under the PRESBO-44 administration. Under that circumstance it would seem
logical that a much less charge would have been warranted. The mentioned 'Rules of
Engagement' we were told by active and reserve duty members were not to be available
to the general public!! But seem to be deliberately oriented to placing our military
personnel in greater danger or at least making them hesitant to take serious action for
their own or others protection
Pat Campbell included in his story that he had learned that the Oklahoma
attorney General had written several letters supporting pardon to the Department of
Justice and finally had written one directly to the President. While that letter may have
been a factor it seems to me that the pardon came surprisingly early considering the
stressful aggressive actions against Mr. Trump by his Democrat self appointed 'enemies'.
It is questionable in my mind whether any other person in public life could have done
half as much in the same time frame while under the same aggressive obstructionist
actions. Mr. Campbell had information that after signing the pardon, the President called
Lt. Behenna personally to inform him of the action.
To my mind, this whole incident brings to light what went on during the eight years
of the previous administration against anything military, or even law enforcement. The
Border Patrol is included in law enforcement where a number of members were killed by
the very guns that had been, illegally, sold here and delivered to the Mexican drug cartels
to be used against our people as well as any of their opponents there. There have
been sufficient reliable reports of that program, titled "Fast and Furious" for the purposes
of using the killing of US citizens by the guns as an excuse to secure the nation as 'gun
free', that is except for those in the government. And 'government' includes such unlikely
departments as the IRS!! In an effort to hamstring the Second Amendment idea of "keep
and bear arms" a number of government bureaus and agencies placed extravagant orders
for ammunition so as to dry up the supply to the law abiding citizens.
