Original Message
A Green Beret and his allies say the fact that he "stood up to a child rapist" while serving in Afghanistan with an elite Joint Base Lewis-McChord unit shouldn't be grounds for kicking him out of the Army.
Sgt. 1st Class Charles Martland says he beat up an Afghan police commander he was supposed to be mentoring because he was fed up with the commander's "brutal" sexual abuse of a village boy.
Martland and his detachment commander, Capt. Daniel Quinn, lost their tempers when
one leader near their base kidnapped a boy for more than a week, chained him to a bed, raped the child and then assaulted the boy's mother, Quinn said.
The mother appealed to the Green Berets to help her son. Quinn said the soldiers brought the Afghan commander to their base and confronted him.
Quinn told The News Tribune that the Afghan admitted he had raped the boy. He angered the American soldiers by showing disregard for their concerns.
"He started laughing when we talked about what a big deal this was," Quinn said.
Martland and Quinn proceeded to assault the Afghan. Accounts vary on how badly they hurt him.

Please, call or email the U.S. Army's Human Resources Command and tell them that our nation needs more warriors like Sgt. Martland, not fewer and that Sgt. Martland should be honored, not discharged.
