It is simply a tragedy when you here about one of our own being DONE THIS WAY. Michael Behenna is an American soldier convicted and sentenced to 25 years in the death of an Al Qaeda terrorist in self-defense, February 2009.
After reading the full story I was truly appalled. My heart stopped and I felt that if I did not do my part to show support and get his story out, then I was no different than the ones that convicted him. The terrible part about this is that, it was only after the trial that defense lawyers learned that the government's own forensic expert agreed with the soldier’s testimony that it was self-defense.
His story is at Vet2Vetspace.com. We have to take care of our own if we don’t look out for those that keep us safe why should they do the same for us.
